re: #549 buster

CNN interviewed a person who’s worked in the security field (including in past Olympic Games). It was the security person’s opinion that issues of “security” didn’t play a role in choosing the host city for 2016…He noted that Brazil (and Rio) have a far, far worse crime rate than Chicago, and Tokyo has impeccable security (very, very little crime)…so if security/crime, etc., were an overriding concern, than Tokyo would have won the bid.
