Obama skipping Winter Olympics eases security concerns
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- U.S. President Barack Obama's decision not to attend the Winter Olympics has eased some of the security concerns, although organizers still expect at least 40 foreign dignitaries needing special protection.
Assistant Commissioner Bud Mercer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Wednesday that security will be ready for their arrival, along with the estimated 5,500 athletes and coaches, 11,000 media and 350,000 visitors expected to descend on Vancouver in the coming weeks.
“It would have made things more complex but we would have done it,” Mercer said, when asked about Obama's decision not to attend. Security is costing Canadians almost US$609 million, four times the original estimate.
The opening ceremony isn't until Feb. 12, but already Vancouver is beginning to resemble an armed camp. Several streets are closed, helicopters patrol the skies and security perimeters have been established around 80 sport and non-sport venues..
