I don't want TSA-style nonsense though.Then you'd have to call it MSA for "Millions Standing Around" instead of just thousands.

If it boiled down to a choice of which commies profit from a port, I'd rather our commies than their commies.
To: Dane
DiFi's hubby, Blum assisted with this....
Cosco enlisted President Clinton and others to help it lease an old naval port in Long Beach, Calif. GOP lawmakers blocked the deal, which would have in effect given the Chinese military a U.S. beachhead.

I don't want TSA-style nonsense though.So you want government operation without the idiocy brought by government operation? HAHAHA.

Feinstein: Ports 'ought to be governmentally operated'I agree with her. Things related to national security are best left to the FedGuv.

Have you taken a flight since 2002?
Now imagine the critical choke points of the economy being run with the same level of efficiency as the DMV and the TSA...

Nonetheless, this is still a National Security issue.

If it were different, it wouldn't be the government.

I had a feeling this was something more than national security.. It was about one thing.. Getting them union votes..

Oh, great! These are the same people
who operate the Internal Revenue Service
and the U.S. Department of State.
You can't get a straight answer from IRS
and the state department is trying to give
our country to the Chinese.
They'd be GREAT people to operate our ports.

If it were different, it wouldn't be the government.Too sweeping. The DMV in Rochester, NY, was a model of efficiency, for example. It can be done, therefore this argument must be -- while borne in mind -- put aside.
