The security budget has doubled to $882 million. In a late addition, the Ministry of Defense is providing 13,500 soldiers for the Games.
David Rubens is a security consultant specializing in the Olympics.
"It's very difficult to maintain the balance between an open and welcoming event and security management. It's different from what happened in Vancouver, it's certainly different from what happened in Beijing. And the people responsible will certainly be lying awake at night trying to wonder whether they've got that balance right, and the answer is, if it goes wrong, then you got it wrong."
Terrorists are not the only concern. A protester recently halted the historic rowing race between Oxford and Cambridge universities along the River Thames. Trenton Oldfield swam in front of Oxford's boat, forcing the race to be restarted. He said he did it as a protest against what he called "elitist society."
His actions led the chief of the British Olympic Association to warn that it would take "just one idiot" to ruin the Summer Olympics.
The next Olympics are the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Then come the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. But first Brazil will hold another of the world's major sporting events: the 2014 World Cup finals.另一值得关注的就是安保工作。这次将是英国在和平时期进行的最大的一次安保行动。安保预算已经翻了一番，达到8.82亿美元。英国国防部最近还为这次的夏季伦敦奥运会派遣了13500名士兵。
大卫·鲁本斯(David Rubens)是本届奥运会的安全顾问。
“要在把本次奥运会办成一个高度开放的，保安工作又是井然有序的这两者之间找到平衡点实属不易。这次奥运会与温哥华举办的那届不同，也不同于北京奥运会。负责人员将彻夜不眠，力图找到适当的平衡点，而这个问题的答案就是，如果这次奥运会出现问题的话，那么我们的工作也就出现了问题。”
除了恐怖分子可能造成的安保问题外，还有许多问题让我们忧心。最近，一名抗议者使沿泰晤士河进行的牛津大学和剑桥大学之间的历史性赛艇比赛被迫中止。特伦顿·欧菲尔德（Trenton Oldfield）游到牛津大学的赛艇前，迫使比赛重新进行。他说，这么做是为了抗议所谓的“精英社会”。
他的行动导致英国奥林匹克委员会负责人警告说，“只需一个不明事理的人”出来捣乱就能毁了这届夏季奥运会。
下一次奥运会是在俄罗斯索契进行的2014年冬季奥运会。随后是里约热内卢举办的2016年夏季奥运会。在此之前，巴西将会先举办另一项世界重大体育赛事：2014年世界杯决赛。
