The greater and more immediate danger is that as soon as the Dubai company takes over operations, it will necessarily become privy to information about security provisions at crucial U.S. ports. That would mean a transfer of information about our security operations -- and perhaps even worse, about the holes in our security operations -- to a company in an Arab state in which there might be employees who, for reasons of corruption or ideology, would pass this invaluable knowledge on to al-Qaeda types.
That is the danger, and it is a risk, probably an unnecessary one
You stated "I guess he didn't know about this," and then linked to an article entitled "UAE-based firms have operated in Houston long time." As Krauthammer's plainly, lucidly demonstrates: your Pavlovian, drive-by assumption was not only absurd, but demonstrably false.
Again: read, first... then post.
My sentiments exactly. It is not the company I am worried about, but certain employees who might infiltrate the company and give information to the terrorists.
