Anti-terrorist drill reveals Segway attack plan, legions of embarrassed patrolmen

Ah, ha! So, that Chinese S.W.A.T. team we caught ridin’ dirty on Segways earlier that week actually had a reason to be carrying on like they were — they were performing anti-terrorist drills in preparation for defense during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Comically adequate, the drill was said to be

one of “rapid deployment,” though we aren’t told how many spills were taken when officers tried to actually maneuver one of these things around, aim at a target, pull a brown bag down around their head and keep it from spontaneously reversing.
