London Olympics Banned Items, Brand Protection
The 2012 London Olympics will enforce strict bans on items including mobile phones, large quantities of food, and umbrellas. To protect official sponsors like McDonald's and Coca-Cola, items bearing non-sponsor trademarks—such as hats or bags—may be confiscated. The hosts call for a boycott of the games due to these extreme commercial and security restrictions.
