Apparently the Olympic flame has it's own plane, to fly it around on it's world tour. Not that that will make much difference to China's already massive carbon footprint.

I wonder if it is carried in the hold, or taken on as hand luggage?

The security today appeared to be a shambles. I sincerely hope that by 2012 we aren't still at war, and we don't have protestors on the streets of London, running similarly amok.
