Of course I'm sure there are plenty of people to be bought off no matter what happens.
Speaking of that, I know the Russians have a rep for dealing rather harshly, but isn't there also a reputation for corruption and ineptness in the bureaucracy there?

Well lets be honest here. Terrorism has been a win for the bad guys since 2001. We live in a completely monitored state, a superpower has flying assassination machines in the air at all times. They're going to start using them to watch their own citizens. They're already building a massive, likely militarized zone around the Olympics. What is the difference at this point?
