Since the 9/11 attacks, security at the Olympics and other major events has been a major issue. Ahead of the upcoming Olympics in Beijing, China has been tightening security and seems dead-set on handling all security issues itself.

However, armed Israeli security agents have accompanied Israeli athletes during past Olympics, specifically to prevent a repeat of the 1972 massacre by the Palestinian Black September Organization at the Munich Olympics.
