The Olympic torch ducks out of sight in San Francisco, leaving the streets to thousands of politicians.
  • Running is too obvious

    It must be hard to move the torch quickly while having to hide. You know, the carrier puts the torch in a nondescript bag, sits on the park bench, gets up "forgetting" the bag while the next carrier sits by it, and happens to walk off with it. then that carrier goes to the airport and finds a naive traveler to carry one extra package, just as a favor, maybe with a small fee, please don't look inside. Or maybe a deliberately inconspicuous person takes a match and tries to light his shoe. He's seized and he fails to light it, and an examination of the shoe shows yes, there's the torch hidden inside.

    See? No wonder they had start the torch now for games this summer.
