4. Um.... What's wrong with this picture?

He stressed G4S had only recently realised that it would be short of several thousand security guards.

"We are sure that G4S gave us the best information that they had at the time," he said. "So clearly for them it was as much a surprise as it was to us," he said.

I would be asking "Do I want security provided by a company that didn't notice they were thousands of personnel short for a small event like the Olympics??"

Just fire G4S and let the military do it. The money would be better spent and you know they will show up for work.
