Unless they ban camera phones and block cellular service from the venue.

Wasn't Tienemin Square footage shot by a civilian or the foreign media who got the video out before the police showed up?

The first hand reports after it's over will be interesting. The Chinese can do their best to control what happens during the games, but once the athletes and press are back in their own countries (especially the ones with free speech...) they can't stop it.
