#4  #2 actually it is very easy to get out of those tickets...
1.if they are black and white pictures they cannot hold up in court...

2.if the picture is colour but the driver is obscured you can get out of it..
so when you speed through those lights remember to have your sun visor down to obscure you face...if the city cannot prove it was you behind the wheel the ticket is canceled...

#3  Actually, if the airship proves effective, the Greeks plan to deploy their chariots and a pike square.

#2  Up, up, and away in my beautiful balloon. . . .

As to the security cameras?????

Seriously, now Athens has a cash cow for revenue when the olympics conclude. They can now use the cameras to catch people running red lights at intersections, and mail the tickets out just like we do here in Southern California. Why should we have all the fun?

#1  Nice to have friends in high places. A little lend lease action, no.

Athens made a deal and got what it needed.

Title should read, Athens borrows airship so it can have its cake!
