[00:00.34]An Olympic security plan five years in the making is taking shape in Vancouver this week. [00:06.31]The Canadian Police is heading up the $900 million security operation, the largest in Canada's history. [00:14.02]It involved 15,000 police, private security and military personnel. [00:19.85]The Winter Olympics will take place February 12 to 28 in 2010 in Vancouver. [00:26.97]Political protests may pose the biggest threat to the games.

[00:40.39]That year, a terrorist group attacked the athletes' village, eventually killing 11 Israeli athletes and coaches. [00:48.53]It is no coincidence that in Vancouver security patrols are particularly evident [00:54.65]around the low-rise apartment buildings where the athletes will be housed. [00:58.84]In downtown Vancouver, some roads are already closed, and rings of security fencing surround some key venues.
