I’ve read about this – the Bejing Olympics Tactical Response group are apparently well prepared for any terrorist threat that might arise at the 2008 Olympic Games.
As part of this, they’ve trained soldiers who can speed along on little ‘scooters’ called Segways while shooting up the terrorists.
I’m not sure how accurately they’ll be able to shoot while they’re zooming along (I suspect not very well), but they look impressive, like something out of a science fiction movie!
I’m just hoping they can sit and watch the Olympics on TV, rather than being called into action. Lets hope for a peaceful Olympic Games!
