    It's probably the one off crazy or someone trying to impress who will be given most encouragement by the stories.

    Now I think you're probably right about that one. It won't make a difference for the big planners but probably would for the drunk guy whose team just lost.

      I went to a Led Zeppelin cover band at the House of Blues in Chicago a few years ago. I was with a couple of friends and while standing in line we observed that everyone who entered the concert hall was scanned using a hand held metal detector. Both of my friends had switch blades at the time. We walked into that concert hall with no problems whatsoever - switch blades and all. The technique they used to get the blades in could have been used on a handgun, a bomb, or a tactical nuclear warhead. The thing is, my friends weren't terrorists. They didn't evaluate the security for months and put their lives on the line in order to score a big kill for their religion. No, my friends looked at the security set up and had a work around in seconds. They weren't even trying - security is just that much of a scam. That is when I learned that security isn't there to actually make things secure. Security is there to make the common man think the venue is safe. It's as much of a show as the actual concert. Enjoy the show.

        Which apparently stands for God 4 Saken, as in how do the hell do we get out of this G4S security contract. What no security staff[^] This whole story about G4S being totally unprepared to provide security for the Olympics, and the whistle blower saying the chances of getting a weapon into a venue were 50 / 50 that was running on Sky News all day long last week. Is it just me who thinks it is a bit irresponsible to run these stories so prolifically? The entire British media has spent the weekend saying to terrorists groups, and any individual nutters, "Go on, have a go. You've got a good chance of success you know".

        Don't be daft -- it's all a plot to get more soldiers into the area. The government wants to put on a show of military strength to foreign governments, and to make sure that residents know that it has control of lots of big men with guns.

                  That will most definitely not happen. The government have zero control over the press and are currently having a massive struggle to stop the press having so much control over them.

                      Any terrorist with half a brain would already be working for G4S, since it is obviously managed by people with less intelligence than that.

                        I would hope that any self respecting terrorist who did infiltrate G4S would have walked out again when they saw how badly run the place was.

                              After seeing how we run things, most terrorists simply retire. They assume the whole thing will self-destruct on it's own.

                                I'm also hearing a rumour that some of the G4S uniforms have gone missing. A well-known tactic of Al-Queida to infiltrate security, is to do so dressed as security.

                                  I remember a few years ago Group 4, the name for G4S at the time was doing prisoner transfers instead of the police and they lost a few(2 or 3) and there was a big who-har in the media, cue the TV report from outside a cort (Leeds?) there was a prisoner and two huge guards a small prisoner in hand cuffs, who in the presence of the TV crew runs for it (Guards looked confused) :wtf: ! Mad they ever got another contract is beyond me!

                                      Apparently this G4S also has quite a few contracts with major industry leaders here in India.. and any discussion about them in my friend circle would end up with stories of how we fooled them.

                                        Feh. Tinfoil hats are So last year! The aliens have already taken control of those in power, by substituting them with disguised alien lizards. Now they're using mind-control drugs, like aspartame -- and the herbs-and-spices count now goes up to Twelve!. Not even Rock can save us! The only way you can be saved is if you join my secret society, which plans to take back control of the world!

                                        All conspiracy theorists really want is to be part of a conspiracy. Have pity on the little dears.
