This all seems to be over the top I can't see how all these restrictions are necessary, what can I do from my 110kt Cessna? By the time I'm anywhere near London, they're will be a bunch of fighters on my tail .

Understandably there are faster aircraft that could pose a threat to the olympics, but surely the security services need to look at an average airfield, containing <150Kias cruise aircraft and chaps looking to go for a quiet local bimble and really reconsider their choices, know its not gonna happen but still a little silly I think.

Alot of money and effort which could be avoided in certain areas.. Gliders with mandatory transponders 40 miles from the games... not to mention a 2000' max alt under the LTMA
