A NEWSPAPER embarrassed the organizers of the 2012 Olympic Games on Sunday by disclosing it had smuggled a fake bomb past two security checkpoints into the London complex housing the Games' main stadiums.
The Sun newspaper conducted the stunt on Friday, at the end of a week-long pre-Olympics military exercise that saw a warship sail up the River Thames and plans announced to put missiles on rooftops near the Games venue in east London. The paper said it had given the fake device, a plastic box containing wires and harmless Plasticine, to the driver of a mechanical digger working on the construction of the park, who then drove with it past security guards into the site.
