Tents banned from Olympic venues

BBC News reports:

All tents and encampments will be banned from Olympic venues to counter the threat of protests, Home Secretary Theresa May has announced.

Mrs May said preparations were under way for "all eventualities".

She said strict security measures would try to stop equipment being brought into venues and that police would take rapid action to remove any encampments...

As well as London 2012's £600m security budget, the Games has a £2bn contingency budget, part of which can be drawn on for security purposes. These figures do not include an undisclosed counter-terrorism budget.

I include that last paragraph because it gives some idea of the public money being spent on this white elephant.
