You people are nuts. The whole concept of Port Security is a phantom. Take the Port of NOLA. We have the same process running the Port that ran the levee board. Now how can the group that could not prepare for the storm and keep 4-12 feet of water out the city keep nasty stuff from coming in the Port. Any one believe the Port would be more competent? Give me a break.

And take Miami. The Miami Ports (air and sea) are a cesspit of corruption. Tons and tons of illicit good travel through Miami every year (stolen cars, boats, RVs, Cement trucks, exotic pets, guns, drugs, people, you name it). Frequently the cops or "port" employees are on the inside. It is quite silly to think the UAE would make the situation worse. Get with it people.

In fact the only reason a smart terrorist would not use the Port of Miami to bring in WMD is because it would likely be stolen at the Port.

Have you ever been to the 'passenger' terminal in Fort Lauderdale. Security is a joke. You can drive right through if you show a drivers license. And the public officials insist on it. The economy of South Florida would collapse if it was all legit. And these people vote and they can swing Florida and Florida is a swing state. Carl Hiaasen once said. "A lot of places have dead people voting and a lot of places have people paid to vote, but Miami is the only place dead people are paid to vote. " Port security. Miami. Don't make me laugh.

You're accurate description of our lack of port (make that the entire border of America) security is all the more troubling, when instead of taking steps to secure America, we allow key assets to go into the control of a Mohammoilocracy. Wrong direction and at the wrong time.

Insanity. We don't need a 'quid pro quo' to get Dubai's support in kicking Iran down the block. Iran has already taken 3 UAE islands in the Strait of Hormuz by force and with nukes, they will take down the whole neighborhood.
