Look prior to 9/11, how many people would have imagined a terrorist attack like we had?

We should learn from our mistakes. This deal seems to have been done largely under the radar, which the American people simply won't stand for after 9/11.

Done under the radar??? The exact same policy and procedures were done in this case as every other case where a foreign entity wants to do business in the US. When was the last time you were privy to such proceedings?

If you'll 'look into' how security has changed in our ports since 9/11 you'd know we 'did' learn a lesson.

Are you brain damaged?

The parties involved in this contract aren't responsible for cargo inspection or release.

Terrorism via Marine Container is not impacted one way or the other (that is, the threat is not lessoned or worsened) by who is running the Marine Terminal.

In fact, if your operation relied upon your cargo going to a specific terminal, the complexities have gone up dramatically because, guess what?

UAE DOENS'T OPERATE OCEAN VESSELS. How do you think the stuff gets here? On Asian or European - owned Vessels, that cargo can't be placed on those vesssels overseas unless US Customs gives the ok.

Who runs the yard here is irrelevent.

Please it was well known in the business world. There was no crony deal, it was a run of the mill business acquisition.
