Bennett is a wind bag and a self promoter. I hope this deal goes down the toilet, it should, but why do we need any foreign country's companies to handle these ports? Are there no American companys who can handle this? Are we all that inept?
Further there are 21 ports involved in this from Portland Maine to Corpus Christy, also a number of ports in Vancouver BC. Haven't heard Bennet mention that. This story was well on line before he or Brit, for that matter, latched onto it. Were they waiting for a signal?
Bush sure doesn't take security that seriously. Open borders and Arab Port "Authorities".

that is the least useful argument to make.
foreign investors like to invest in America for good reasons.
why (in general) turn them away? Why must it be American? do you want to forbid foreign airlines from flying to USA?
If you did, you would destroy international air travel.
