Exportando métodos de control desde los aeropuertos a nuestros pequeños actos cotidianos.
Para acceder a los eventos deportivos que formarán parte de los juegos olímpicos de Londres 2012 habrá que pasar controles de seguridad idénticos a los que ahora pasamos para embarcar a un avión.
Dice el jefe de policía:
«Allison said forces, which could be called upon to provide special services for the Olympics, such as firearms officers, mounted police, protection and search officers, have been asked to postpone any potential cuts in these areas until after the Games.
Private security firms will use X-ray machines and carry out searches much like you would see at an airport. As you get to the venues clearly you will have to go through a search and secure regime.
It will look like you would expect. Sadly, as a society we’ve been having to do deal with the impact of terrorism for many years.»
La policía metiendo miedo para evitar que los recortes afecten a sus presupuestos… y la excusa perfecta, huelga decirlo, es el terrorismo.
