Latest Olympic profiteering move
Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2011 8:00 pmPeople who attend the Olympic games are set-up to be victims of the latest money grabbing tactics by the organisers. How many more ways can they think of to screw every last penny out of spectators? Spectators stand accused of being potential terrorists by taking a Thermos flask and some sandwiches!
No! I hear you say. This is Britain!
Sorry folks! " Airline Security" rules (not laws) have been used to make sure that the organisers can make even greater profits!
Your sandwich or drink might EXPLODE! so they will confiscate them only to sell you an identical or inferior item at grossly inflated prices once past the barriers, just like airports
This is the latest sickening development to appear from people who seem to have gained extra-judicial powers to manipulate the use of "laws" to benefit themselves.
In short - it is racketeering
