Beijing 2008: Robot drones and Segway police.

Guests at the Summer Olympics might get an idea of what “technological superiority” means nowadays, according to AP’s report on China’s new security measures.

The drones were tested for the first time during a drill Wednesday in Jinan, the capital of eastern Shandong province, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. They are intended to scout out suspicious activity and transmit photos and videos back to a command station.

…Besides the drones, 35 kinds of anti-terrorist weapons were shown in drills of mock hijackings and bomb attacks, including explosive disposal robots.

You gotta see the photos of the troopers on Segways. They’re rolling in formation…..
