Answer
Hello again,

Obviously, Germany is not going to tell the public exactly what methods and strategies it is using to prevent potential terrorist acts.  However, organizers have indicated that they will have an expanded police presence at all the cities where there will be games.  They will have emergancy services on site and ready to respond to anything that may occur.  In addition, they are using watch lists to keep known trouble-makers away from the games (more for anti-riot issues, but I assume they will also be watching for suspected terrorists).

Expertise

I will answer general questions regarding freedom of speech, petition, or religion. I specialize in cases involving public employment or education, as well as issues related to campaign finance. But I can`t give specific legal advice involving specific cases you might have.

Experience

As an attorney for the Center for Individual Rights, I worked on a number of free speech cases, including Rosenberger v. Univ. of Virginia, in which the Supreme Court upheld my clients' right to run a student newspaper without discrimination because of its religious conent. I also worked on White v. Julian, which protected the right of people to protest against a homeless shelter in their neighborhood.

I also worked for the Federal Election Commission on several cases regarding the right to participate in the election process.
