The List?n Diario reports that very tight security measures will be in place for the upcoming Pan American Games, as announced by Major General Gustavo A. Jorge Garc?a yesterday. No liquor, glasses or glass bottles will be allowed at the venues.
The ?Ten Commandments? were distributed to the reporters from the List?n by the general, who emphasized that respecting these rules will be mandatory for all spectators, including high-ranking officials and members of the military.
The first two chapters contain the list of prohibited objects, such as bottles, cans ? even Frisbees ? and basically anything that could harm an athlete or spectator. National flags are limited to one meter by two meters in size. Animals are forbidden, as are skateboards, skates, and anything under pressure, such as a spray-can. Spectator behavior will also be monitored and will demand civility and decorum at all times.
The rights of the licensed vendors will be protected, and all non-authorized sales within the installations or venues are prohibited. Begging and religious or political proselytizing is permitted.
