Breach in Olympic Security?

September 23rd, 2004

Okay, this is not a technical topic at all but I wanted to post it anyway. Did anyone else catch a breach in Olympic security this morning on television? On the Today show, Matt Lauer was shown walking through metal detectors on his way to join Katie Couric and Al Roker somewhere in a secured zone. I didn’t catch the precise location; maybe it was the Main Press Center (MPC).

Matt was being filmed from the inside of the secure zone as he entered it. His bags went through the x-ray and he walked through the metal detector as he was talking on his mobile phone. Why didn’t his phone set off the metal detector? Why didn’t security ask to inspect his phone?

Did anyone else catch this?
