"The chance of a dirty bomb getting into the US is the same, regardless of the company that leases the terminal."

Just a thought. If a dirty bomb gets into the U.S. while we have this contract with Dubais, wouldn't the political fall out for Republicans and the Bush Administration be far greater than if a dirty bomb were to get into the U.S. while we had a contract with a non-Arab company?

Will Dubais employees have access to information, the knowlege of which would make it easier to plant a dirty bomb? Your statement above suggests your answer to this second question would be no. If not why not?

Do you know that the US intelligence bodies are already having an access to all the records of transaction of DPW all over he world?
Do you know that the 'employee' of DPW are mostly Americans and Brits?

Yes, that would be the perception. It would not be fact, but most Americans are not concerned with facts.

Any knowledge that Dubais employees have, will not make it any easier to plant a dirty bomb.
