Someone should ask Bush if he would like the Arabs to take over his personal security detail - see if the Secret Service would like to turn over their weapons to the Moos - good enough for all of us, good enough for him.
Poor analogy. All security operations at the ports, such as they are, will be unaffected by the turnover.
It is possible, however, that the discussion could lead to needed improvements.
"see if the Secret Service would like to turn over their weapons to the Moos - good enough for all of us, good enough for him"
Non-sequitur.
Port security is handled by the Coast Guard and various port security agencies: the government.
And the loading and unloading is operated by American stevedores in the stevedores union. There will be no Arabs having anything to do with security. Some Arab owner somewhere will get a cash flow from this US company, because he owns it. He'll have no power to direct anything regarding security, because that's governmental, or about who unloads ships, because that's unionized.
There is no security issue here at all, when you drill down.
It just looks bad, because "port" and "Arab" are in the same sentence. But actually, there won't be any Arabs near any ports.
Excellent point!!!!!!!!!!!!
