I would be astonished if these were not logging keystrokes and
complete recordings of screen video. I wouldn't be surprised if
there were live COMINT people on site analyzing everything in
real time for any potential threats. Maybe from another country
if you have pesky laws about local COMINT people monitoring their
own citizens, but they're going to be there and they're going to
be working closely with local authorities.
If you are anywhere near the Olympics, expect every telephone
call to be listened to in real time and every internet connection
to be monitored in real time.

Thinking about the "prank" value of connecting a Blum-Blum-Shub
generator on some old 386 to a packet modem and setting it to
broadcast occasionally from some obscure spot near the olympics
to simulate encrypted traffic. But pretty sure that he would
be charged with something if he did.
