"Port security is the top priority for AAPA members."

I just heard Captain Kelley Sweeney, (Master Mariner, Merchant Marines) on the radio last night as a guest speaker. He authored the book "From The Bridge", which tells his stories of sailing around the world for twenty years in merchant ships, including dealing with terrorists at sea.

According to Sweeney, who is a true expert on port and terminal procedures, those foreignors who are hired by the subsidiaries and sub-contractors of big companies like P & O, have their background checks done only by the companies who hire them, NOT by the U.S. government. So these foreign-hired dock workers at our "landlord" ports get a free security pass of sorts. Scarey stuff coming from a guy like Cpt Sweeney.

This guy in no way was taking any political side or attacking anyone, he was just voicing his expert concerns about our horrendous port security as it stands now, and about how it could get worse with the UAE company working at our ports if we don't start changing laws and security procedures a.s.a.p.

Ref. post 17: The Chinese aren't threading to blow up Israel and Europe yet, just the USA. That is OK I guess.

Just a question:

If is bad to have DPW operate cargo terminals in the US why would it be OK to accept shipments from DPW operated cargo terminals overseas where we have even less control?
