Writing for The Weekly Standard, Nicole Topham reports on Olympic security for the Salt Lake City games:

Officials and terrorism experts have expressed concern about a potential attack on Utah’s stock of chemical munitions, which makes up 44 percent of the nation’s total reserves. But Governor Leavitt insists that state authorities have taken steps to prevent this. Without going into details, officials working to secure the Olympics indicate that their safety plan will protect the water supply, ventilation systems, hazardous material sites, and other vulnerable areas. At the Olympic village, located on the University of Utah campus, the focus is on teaching staff and those allowed on campus during the games how to react to chemical spills and other out-of-the-ordinary events. As an additional precaution, health officials are working to obtain greater quantities of Cipro to add to the medical stores already established.
