There is no "managing".    She just looks at me and shakes her head.    I know my boundaries.

Good thing they have the French training with them...  :roll:

Do you think it's easy to stop fans from bringing explosives to soccer games (well it probably is, but they tried real hard)

Pretty easy to put roadblocks up on a street with thousands of people gathered on it...

So if the ioc lets the Russians complete, can we get upset that the usoc isn't patriotic enough to engage in systematic doping

Gonna turn in to the Hunger Games
Help me out. how do Brazilian terrorists dress?  I mean, string bikinis with a veil?  when they want a woman to smuggle in an explosive into a crowd, where do they hide it?  In the butt lift? Do their men fall over and fake an injury when they try to get past a police check point?   Or, do they all have hair like Nene and are able to hide a small village of hostages in there?

You can probably use it on a vehicle, as it still works off infrared. Of course, if the target has any kind of armor, it'll be about as useful as spitting at it.

They're probably not thinkin' about armor (IMHO).    Here's hopin' they have an outer perimeter.

Naw, they gotta cover that, but you do it with concrete/hesco barriers that force a vehicle to swerve and no gain any momentum. Then you pump as many SLAP-T rounds through the windshield as possible.

Russian athletes "will be accepted by the IOC" to compete in Rio if they can meet strict anti-doping criteria, have no doping history and are given the green light by their own sports governing body.
Federations "should carry out an individual analysis of each athlete's anti-doping record, taking into account only reliable adequate international tests, and the specificities of the athlete's sport and its rules, in order to ensure a level playing field," the IOC statement said.
On a conference call with reporters Sunday, IOC president Thomas Bach said the IOC's decision had been difficult and that he was aware it would not please everybody.
"This is about doing justice to clean athletes all over the world. In this way we protect these clean athletes," Bach said.
The IOC also made clear that Russian runner and whistleblower Yulia Stepanova will not be able to compete in Rio given her previous doping sentence. Stepanova had previously hoped to compete in the games under a neutral flag.
Although the IOC expressed gratitude for Stepanova's actions in its statement, it added that "the circumstances in which she denounced the doping practices which she had used herself ... do not satisfy the ethical requirements for an athlete to enter the Olympic Games."

Yea, so if all you swimmers and other competitors could just close your mouth when you're in the water .... that would be great ...
