1,900 Utah National Guard members will be activated for security at the Winter Olympics, with assistance from 1,200 Guard members from 13 states.
Troops have 3 main missions: screening vehicles and visitors; perimeter guard duty; and as a rapid deployment force in case of a crisis.
The troops screening visitors at venue entrances likely won't be armed, Tarbet said. Those standing guard duty along the fences may carry guns, at the discretion of police departments at each venue. |

Trillo, who has used the weapons six times in the past year, said they give officers another alternative when faced with life-threatening situations.
But "despite the pluses, some officers might use the less-than-lethal weaponry too often or unnecessarily," according to Christopher Slobogin, a criminal law professor at the University of Florida College of Law. |

"Changes lift the requirement to use a nightstick before a gun. Police can also fire without warning when circumstances are so urgent and dangerous as to demand immediate action."
"Police need to try harder to see that public safety is protected through proper exercise of their law-enforcement authority, and to see that fewer officers are killed in the line of duty." |

The latest victim of victimless crime laws: Gerard Warren parked his Chevrolet Suburban in the Strip District. When police searched it, they found a Glock .45 locked in the center console.
"Unfortunately for Warren...he didn't have a license or permit to own the gun. Warren was charged with a felony even though he wasn't threatening anybody. Do you really feel safer today?" Dimitri Vassilaros |

TO REMEMBER |
| Today the taxing power, rather than chattel slavery, is the instrument by which the parasitical element of the population subsists. And that element, which includes politicians, panics at the slightest reduction in the state's power to plunder. Once you start liberating taxpayers, even a little tiny bit, nobody knows where it may end. —Joseph Sobran |
