Or, they could just have Chris Hoy run them over.

Cool pix. Those exercises will surely strike fear into the hearts of any 
terrorists planning evil deeds anytime soon.

Men in Boats, or balaclavas. There's a military exercise taking place in
London at the moment, designed to let foreign athletes know they'd better
not get in front of any Brits at the Olympics. HMS Ocean, a helicopter
platform, is berthed at Greenwich. 

Here's a picture of a helicopter landing on it:

On my way back home I noticed a couple of boats full of men in black
balaclavas - although it wasn't particularly chilly, a nice warm scarf and a
pair of mittens would have done.

Here they are arriving back at the ship, probably looking forward to a
lovely mug of hot chocolate:

Here's some news footage of HMS Ocean nearly hitting the Thames Barrier on
the way in:

There are some Rapier ground-to-air missiles up on Blackheath, about a mile
away. I might go and have a look at them tomorrow. 

Here are some friendly bombs, aimed at Bexleyheath:

The bobbies at 0:33 are saying "Oi! You can't park that there 'ere!".
