This is being portrayed as an exciting story but lets take a step back shall we? A giant intelligence-industrial facility was set up for what is effectively a large sports-day type event. The opening ceremony was potentially at risk of having lights turned off due to an unspecified and as yet unqualified threat. The intelligence-industrial complex went into action to qualify the threat and it's clear from the butterflies in stomach moment that they didn't realise it was a false alarm until afterwards. This tells us a lot about the effectiveness of GCHQ's fibre-splicing 3 day archiving of all Internet traffic, and of the security services' abilities to monitor threats through other means in order to determine whether or not they exist. In conclusion, it appears that the olympics were chasing their own tails, supported by a giant security state apparatus and couldn't determine whether or not the threat was real, let alone any details about the threat until after the event.
