Olympics security failure is 'humiliating shambles,' boss concedes - CNN.com

Buckles, the chief executive of G4S, said the company should not have agreed to provide 10,400 guards for the Olympics, six days after the security giant admitted it could not do so.

"We regret signing the contract," Buckles said under pressure from lawmakers.

The company's failure forced the government to call in 3,500 military personnel to help, and will also require extra police to be deployed.

Not even half of the guards needed are trained and ready. My favorite part are the comments though. Especially the ones who seem to think that using the military is "free".

London doesn't want to become the new Munich. Strange how so many decades later, Muslim terrorist are still a problem around the world. Their military is fairly well trained and combat hardened.
