The 2008 Olympic Torch relay, has been met with widespread protests all over the globe. The protestor's main concern-- the sporting event, which celebrate the Human Spirit is going to be held in a country known for its violation of human rights (China).
The protests were particularly chaotic in London and Paris, and the torch was extinguished several times in Paris. So faced with the same problem in San Francisco, the organisers came up with a solution-- change the route without informing the protesters. The plan was a success, as the relay went on peacefully.
