U.S. Olympic Committee is distributing a high-tech mask to its more than 600 Olympians by Milieunet

While Beijing is doing all that is possible to clean the air in the city during the Olympic Games, the US Olympiv Committee started to distribute secretly developed high tech mask to all olympic sporters. Source: Wall Street Journal

So these sporters have to decide to wear these mask to protect themselve for the air pollution in Beijing. What should happen when the USA team decides to wear these masks during the Opening Ceremony?

It will be a big smash in the face for the Chinese. That should be a real insult. What is USA team going to do on August 8th??

Meanwhile the organizing committee is going for green where possible. So in the last week they received 5000 official eco-friendly cars. Beijing made big progression with their mass-transit systems. Three new subway lines were opened and several battery-powered buses will take the Olympic Lanes on the highways.
