He was just doing his job, But a torch-bearer's quick run took the US secretary of state completely by surprise. 24-year-old Chester Centino dashed past in a Malo, a traditional Hawaiian loincloth. (SOUNDBITE) (English) CHESTER CENTINO, TORCH BEARER, SAYING: "I made sure that I was clear with security, let them know that I have a lit flame, and this is all that I was wearing with my conch shell, and they said they were okay with it.

Spreading smiles from Hawaii out across the globe, the clip has notched up thousands of hits. Marie-Claire Fennessy, Reuters
