Rush just made a good point. The UAE airliners fly in and out of our airports everyday! Couldn't they just as easily be infiltrated and fly into buildings instead? The point being that we are never going to be 100% safe. We either trust our security meaasures that are in place or we don't. Apparently, the Coast Guard is stationed in the UAE and inspects the tankers originating from there. I do think that the PR from the WH on this has been terrible and the majority of Americans have no idea how the ports are operated. Perhaps, if they did, this firestorm would never have erupted.
Someone should ask Rush why he doesn't support the mandatory 45-day review of the transaction as specified by federal law? It's the law.
It would be much easier if the owned United Airlies though, wouldn't it?
