So the airport welcome for the UK Olympians has been cancelled due to 'health and safety' reasons cited by BAA. The safety thing I get (though maybe they could fix that by hiring more security for the day instead of cheaping out), but health? Do they think they're carrying plague back from China?

Huh? Are they afraid of bird flu or something? Maybe they watched last night's genuinely awful bird flu movie on SciFi?

I have no idea at all. It just doesn't make any sense - perhaps it's just their standard line. But I honestly can't believe that they cancelled the welcome for what seems like a pathetic reason.
