Washington officials fear terrorism attack during 2010 Olympics

Washington officials fear terrorism attack during 2010 Olympics: "Officials in Whatcom County, Wash., are looking for a big wad of cash to deal with the expected impact of Vancouver's 2010 Olympics.

Officials are lobbying the U.S. federal government for a whopping $71.3 million to mitigate the potential threat of terrorism during the two weeks of the Games.

County executive Pete Kremen says he needs the money to protect his border due to the volume of people who will be crossing."
