Curious how all the panic stricken Port Deal hysteric will explain how the company that LOADS most of the 9,000,000,000 containers shipped to the USA is now suddenly an unacceptable security risk to UNLOAD those same continers at 6 US Ports?

Easy. We do not give them insight into our security measures at OUR ports. After witnessing how corrupt CBP is on the Texas border; there is no doubt that our ports are any better. This incident (the transfer of ownership) is a good time to evaluate security in an open and transparent fashion. Few of us Freepers are hysterical. Most of the comments that I have read request congressional scrutiny. It makes sense to do that.

Do you remember those Indonesians who were wearing Osama T-shirts off-loading U.S. relief supplies after the Sumatra tsunami?

I think this is bigger in concern and issue than mere nationalities, is my point.

There is a big difference between controlling one end of a transaction and both ends particularly when the one we are talking about is the entry to this country

It is called checks and balances.
