The "sale of port security" has already been rebutted. Nothing to see ... move along.

My understanding is that these companies are the freight handlers, who don't have security as their primary responsibility. They are more like the "port equivalent" of UPS and FedEx. They handle the freight, and submit as required to customs and other agents of the law.

Yeah...but, doesn't it make you nervous that these freight handlers could handle freight filled with WMDS..or even terrorists smuggling into the USA???

I don't know...it just doesn't sound good to me...when I saw that Schumer was heading the group wanting this reviewed...I automatically told myself that it must not be BAD..if Schumer is against it...LOL..

However, I am just very nervous having any of those countries have ANY reason to be hanging around our ports..

Maybe we should get Halliburton to handle it??? (ducking)
