The mystery of the Indian intruder at the Opening Ceremony (Olympic security not so secure)

The Indian delegation marched into the Opening Ceremony just like the other 203 countries at the Summer Olympics. A flag bearer led the procession and was accompanied by a female sign holder and a young child ambassador. Behind them, the nation's athletes marched; India's team wore yellow saris and turbans. Someone else was there too, an unexpected intruder in the procession. She wasn't part of the lead group and wasn't an athlete. She was dressed in a red sweater and teal pants and was waving and cheering like she was supposed to be there. She wasn't.

Who was she? And why was she there? The identity of the Indian Intruder became a major mystery in the country. "Who's That Girl?" blared the headline on the front page of The Hindustan Times. Another newspaper ran an editorial blaming London security for allowing a security risk to march with the team....

Romney: "The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials -- that obviously is not something which is encouraging," Romney said during an interview with NBC News that aired on Wednesday evening, stating that he found some of these potential issues "disconcerting."

(yup, that's some scandal Mitt stepped into)

She was harmless, but could easily been, say, a Pakistani terrorist with a bomb vest, if security is that bad.

ditto. This got a lot of notice in the press in India, but I’m glad it hit the US press too...

I got a bad feeling about this. It shouldn't have been possible - literally. It shouldn't have been possible for someone to have made it that far, with no badges, not only improperly dressed but color designed to stand out from the yellow the Indian athletes were wearing. And even if she started, she should have been immediately spotted by the team and security, and arrested right there. Not "should have" as in it would have been a good idea, but "should have" as in there would be zero possibility of avoiding getting tackled by ten cops and having her smug grin bashed in before she was smothered in anti-explosive wrap and dragged away.

I don't buy it. It stinks.

You mean the Perkawe tribe. Always lost, asking for direction. ‘Excuse me, can you help? We’re the Perkawe...’

She can’t be Hekawi- they’re afraid of the dark.

" "A shame," though? A shame is the fact that India has been competing in the Olympics for 112 years and have only earned four more medals than Michael Phelps."

Now that's funny stuff. So does this mean Michael Phelps could pass India's medal count after this Olympics?
