Massive security operation rolled out for royal wedding

WINDSOR, ENGLAND — In preparation for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's May 19 royal wedding, a massive security operation has been deployed throughout Windsor.
More than 100,000 expected visitors will have to pass through tight security measures to get into the small town, according to Reuters.

Around 3,000 police officers are also expected to be on hand. In addition to road closures which will seal off the town and police patrols, visitors will have to pass through airport-style scanning checks before they can reach the street surrounding the castle, Reuters reported.

Automatic license plate recognition technology has been checking vehicles entering town, while authorities have been conducting random stops, according to NBC News.
Large steel and concrete barriers have been erected in and around Windsor to prevent vehicle attacks.

Police have been searching through garbage bins, searching drain and manhole covers and using sniffer dogs to search mailboxes.
According the Thames Valley Police, counter-drone systems may also be used as part of the security operation.
