Finals Security Fears Slightly Eased

The Guardian reports that following a two day conference about the security issues surrounding the hosting of the Euro 2008 finals in Austria and Switzerland that any concerns have been allayed.

The bit that caught my eye was:

"It seems Euro 2008 was mentioned in passing in talks between these alleged extremists but not in a way that needs to be taken seriously," Martin Jaeggi (head of Switzerland's Security) told Reuters.

So we know that terrorists have been talking about the finals but we're not to be worried? I'm sorry but I'm not thinking they're talking about "absolute football's advantages over the diamond formation". So Mr. Watchmaker - sort it!
