Bishop Hill in Security

According to an article in the Times, builders working on the Olympic site in London are going to have to pass through stringent security checks, just to get in:

About 100,000 workers at the Olympics site in London are to be screened using advanced face and palm recognition techniques in one of the largest and most expensive security operations undertaken on a British construction project.

I just wonder if anyone in government asked the suppliers to guarantee that all this equipment still works when the hands and faces being scanned are covered in concrete.
