Security here was nothing like Beijing. I saw Olympic venue security officers in Beijing instruct ticket holders to take medication or to take a photo with their camera. One security officer at the airport was completely confused about a stack of business cards I had that were bunched together with a rubber band. I don't think he had ever seen a business card before. Security at the Olympic sites I went to in Eaton, Excel and at the Olympic Grounds was a pleasure compared to standing 50 deep in pouring rain in Beijing.
