I come away from trying to reach people on subjects like this, feeling quite inadequate to do so. Don't. You're doing a great job, thanks!
OTOH, I'll readily confess I do not know exactly how the ports are run. If anyone can tell me the specifics, I'd appreciate it. It just doesn't seem very convincing to me to say that muslims will own but not actually manage the ports.
But that just may be my ignorance (of how this deal is structured) speaking.

IMO, we should severely limit travel from terrorist states to the U.S. If a nation's citizens loathe the U.S. and don't recognize Israel's right to exist, you're talking about a very problematic state.
Should be be allowing people to slip through our parameter from these nations? Frankly, I don't see why we should.
The question then arises, if such agreements increase travel from terrorist states, or even problematic states, is it wise to implement the plan? When management types come here, are we assured they are above temptation? Does their vision of Allah play into a terrorist sympathizing act?
I have concerns over issues like this. Even if things look like they are on the up and up, what prevents things from going south, if temperaments change?
