Security tight around Royal Wedding

Christ, you wouldn't want to be responsible for security around the Royal Wedding would you?

In a time of protest and revolution around the world, with the spectre of terrorism everywhere, one of the most high-profile weddings of our time, in a country which has engaged in numerous military incursions over the last few years, in the centre of one of the world's busiest cities. Err, no thank you, you can keep THAT job.

The police working with other forces across England and Wales and using local intelligence to identify activists and anarchists who they believe are committed to carrying out criminal activity on 29 April.
"We will attempt to prevent people coming to London to carry out criminal activity," said assistant commissioner Lynne Owens, head of central operations at Scotland Yard, adding there would be police activity in the days ahead of the event to "disrupt any criminal behaviour that may be anticipated".
So...a bit like Minority Report then - arresting criminals BEFORE they do something!!
