As I'm sure some of you have heard, the Brits have been rounding up people over the last few days leading up to the Olympic Games. Most recently, the Telegraph reported on a potential suicide bomber casing Olympic Park. My question is this: despite all of the arrests prior to the opening ceremonies, what do you think the odds are of someone making a go at the Games in the name of jihad? Do you think that an attempt would be successful, nearly successful, or an abject failure?
Having never worked with MI5/MI6 (that I know of), I am of the opinion that they are roping up everyone within arm's reach that they feel could make the attempt to really earn their virgins. If anyone does actually go for the glory during the Games, it will likely be someone who sneaks in from outside of Britain. Bear in mind, I haven't spent hours digging into this, nor am I an intel analyst by trade. I'm interested in hearing y'all's opinions on this.
