On The Colin Cowheard show this morning one of the reporters was saying that most motel rooms have no heating, and water that is labeled as dangerous if it touches your skin, let alone drink. Also people are reporting their rooms are being broken into.

the toronto star had an article saying how each hotel had a metal detector. of course there were no guards anywhere nearby to stop people if they set it off

russia is serious about safety

My updated predictions for this Olympics is an over/under for terrorist attacks at 3, deaths at an over/under of 25, and Russia is made a laughingstock of the entire world. Even China laughs.

Look, I'm not exaggerating when I say the success of your mission hinges on how you use that cardboard box.
Russia is just getting us prepared for the eventuality of all these sporting events taking place in third world poo poo holes.

Because it's a cargo cult security system, not an actual security system.

There isn't any snow in Sochi this year. This isn't unusual though, it rarely snows in Sochi.

They should have the winter Olympics in places where it snows.

What about deaths from Russian police opening fire and/or gassing crowds to contain the terrorist attack?

If there is an attack obviously 1:1. If there's no attack I'd say 1:2 so it's anybody's guess, really.
