The olympic airspace is quite a populated area. I don't see how shooting down a "threat" really saves anyone and I agree it is slightly absurd to use fighter jets to intercept bumbling GA aircraft. Surely this is all a very expensive placebo-type security measure that costs more than it's worth.
I do however hope an olympic terrorist gets shot in the head by a helicopter based sniper... beacause that would be sooo sooo cool!
