It's amazing what 9/11 has turned us into.
It's not paranoia, it's logical. The security threat for international terrorism at Athens and Torino was deemed as low, but everyone's main concern was only on international terrorism. There was no distraction. The same threat has been deemed as low, but the main focus here in Vancouver is on violent protesters. The security forces could be saving money and/or refocusing their efforts on a much more serious threat than quelling anarchists.
