Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. - Benjamin Franklin.

Does anyone else feel that Whistler is becoming a little too tight on security for the 2010 Olympics?

Everywhere you look these days, you're greeted with metal fences, CCTV surveillance cameras, and "No Entry" signs. In fact, Whistler could be the poster child for the 2010 Police State, instead of one of North America's premier ski resorts.

As a Whistler resident, I'd say we're officially approaching "lockdown." At least we're not being forced to wear orange jumpsuits - yet.
