"Handing U.S. port security to UAE is terrible idea"
Couldn't agree more.
The port master is a US government employee. The people who unload the ships are US citizens, union longshoremen. Security is the job of the Coast Guard and Customs.
The same people who do the job now, will stay, and do the job for the new company. What do they do? When queried, they bid time and money to unload ships. Where that port is selected by the ship/cargo owner, they then hire longshoremen to unload the ship, and reload it with US goods.
When new people are to be assigned, Homeland Security has 45 days to vet the new person, and right of refusal.
I don't have a problem with it.
Couldn't agree more.
Yes. And thank God nobody is suggesting we do such a thing.
