He said security checks on people entering the Olympic Park site and other venues would be on a par with the "mag and bag" security seen at airports, where bags go through magnetic scanners and people are searched and where liquids in more than ml containers are banned. Any liquids above that capacity would be removed, but people would be allowed to keep their bottles to fill up once through security, he added.
According to the current terms and conditions for Olympic ticket holders, items that cannot be taken into venues include:. The ticket sales purchase terms also set out, in section The terms cover Olympic Park, the venues within it, and the existing sporting venues Locog will commandeer for the period of the Games, across London and the rest of the UK.
Critics have said the rules covering food, drink and containers like those for sun cream could add unnecessary expense and inconvenience to a day out at the Games. Football Supporters' Federation chair Malcolm Clarke said while restrictions during normal matches varied between stadiums, "airport" level security could spoil the Olympics for some.
If you get a hot afternoon and you're there for several hours, people are going to want to take a bottle of water - in line with good medical advice.
He also raised concerns that people would be delayed by security searches. But anyone trying to take in an offensive weapon with half a brain could take it in. If they are starting to do 'airport security' it could detract from people's enjoyment. Tara McBride, spokesperson for the Made for Mums parenting website said the restrictions could spell a "nightmare" for parents who planned to take along babies and children. It's going to create a lot of ill-feeling with families.
It's ridiculous. You're going to be there all day. During the Games, archery will take place at Lord's cricket ground. Barmy Army spokeswoman Becky Fairlie-Clarke said she recognised people had to be safe at Olympic venues, but there must be enough staff to carry out security checks without holding back fans.
