Ja.  Many are on edge at any international sports event.  The Israelis are
heavily guarded at all times, but most of the other teams have no special
security measures.  This tournament is in Greece, which is having its
temporary budget difficulties I understand, so if the Brits or Danes even
sneeze, the rest of the world jumps.  When any on-site spectator makes a
comment like "Has anyone seen the British team?" and "The team captain is
frantically searching for them" right when the data link goes down, the
worry-meter goes off scale.
