'Mumbai attack' is worst-case scenario??

[escapeUK]

You're making the assumption that the adherents of the peace-loving religion ( for who else would it be?) have the ability to outfox the authorities.
Maybe that's the case or maybe it isn't.

Didnt take too much out foxing last time, and I draw your attention to the fact that the 7/7 attack was the day after it was announced London got the Olympics. When some see 'coincidence', I see 'consequence'.

I am hoping that the authorities have planned against the real possibility of an impromptu Cliff Richard led sing along this summer.

I understand some of the police and the Army will be armed, so don't panic.

If you ain't there, it won't happen to you.

Sage advice indeed.

No one else think they could use the Olympics as cover and attack something else?

If I were a terrorist, I'd drop a few cases of semtex into the Thames over the USS Montgomery (which someone mentioned here today).

It would be timed to explode during the opening ceremony, say three days later, by which time I would be safely in Outer Mongolia.

Probably nobody would be killed, which is good naturally, but tons of mud (if some estimates are to be believed) would literally rain on the parade like something out of an Ealing comedy.

In the long run I'd actually be doing a public service by removing a hazardous wreck from the Thames, _and_ providing an amusing diversion for those of us not normally interested in sport.

What would you do about the Police boat that's on station 24 hours per day and the no fly zone?

Just asking, like?

The worst case scenario is more subtle and yet more devastating.

The opening ceremony being so hugely embarassing that as a nation we all decide we can never show our faces again, and mass hari-kiri follows.

Mumbai attack can only happen in country where majority of citizens are unarmed...
