I've been to Israel four times and if there is one thing that makes them stand out above the rest of the countries I have traveled to (which is over 30) its there security. Guess the terrorists won't have much like in Athens as they did in Munich 1972

I know someone who is training for the USA Olympic fencing team. He and his fellow team members are not thrilled at the prospect of competing in Greece--well-known for its virulent anti-Americanism, anti-semitism and lax security regarding terrorists and other radical scum...

Hope this news makes him feel better.

On the other hand, if I were that Israeli security company, I'd have a hard time trusting the Greek police force because of its reputation for incompetency and corruption. No way would I visit Greece--especially at that time. I'll bet that a lot of tourits and Olympics buffs feel the same way.

If you want security, Israeli trained forces is the way to go.

Israelis are going to be in charge of security? This undoubtedly will be the safest Olympics in modern history.
