DAVEYSecurity was high in the Californian city to protect the torch, which had to be extinguished three times in Paris Monday because of protests, before organizers in the French capital decided to cut short the route. Officials said the torch was driven to an undisclosed location in the city where thousands are expected to demonstrate Wednesday against China's human rights record. On Monday, activists scaled the Golden Gate Bridge in protest. San Francisco is the only North American stop for the torch.
