Has Britain threatened us or any of our Allies with their nukes? Has Israel, or France?
The government of the UAE has not threatened us, and the company that will take over the running of the ports has been doing this same thing all over the world. They have a track record that is available for anyone to see.
The SECURITY at the ports will not change. Homeland Security is in charge, the workers will remain in their jobs. Only the names at the top of the ownership roster will change. DPW is in this to make money. If they screw up and allow something bad to happen, they will lose contracts all over the world. This is BUSINESS, and they won't mess around. I think they'll be even MORE conscious of the possibility that terrorists might try to send weapons through the ports, and work to stop that.
It just stinks though. Like a fish somewhere in your new car.
No they're not. Homeland Security does not have a force on the ground or in the offices or on the docks running security. The Port operator is in charge of that. Homeland Security approves their security plan but it does not implement it. The Coast Guard, a branch of HS now, can barely inspect 2% of the containers coming in and out of our ports now...and you think it's ok to put muslims in charge of the ports?
