Photo of the Day: Chinese anti-terror Segway commandos
From Xinhua via our friends at China Car Times comes the above photo, showing Chinese counter-terrorism forces going through drills as they prepare to crush any dissent terror threat that might arise during next month’s Olympic Games. The black ninja suits, fritz helmets, body armor, and submachine pistols all fit the profile of a specialized group like this. But… Segways?
UPDATE: Turns out, Engadget is having a caption contest. (Thanks, seoultrain.)
