It turns out that to attend the Olympics in Beijing this year, you are restricted from:
• bringing printed materials, photos, movies
• displaying religious or political banners or slogans
• performing rallies, demonstrations or marches
You are also restricted from attending if you have any sexually transmitted diseases or mental illnesses.
I know that they will search bags and people for things like printed materials and political banners, however, my question is this- how do you control people with mental illnesses and STDs from entering the games? Do they give everyone a medical exam before entering?
