[Paul Ross]

If the UAE wanted to help terrorists attack the U.S., all they would simply need to do is load up any one of the planes that fly here each day from the UAE with the best explosives they get their hands on and blow it up over the U.S. Bingo!

False.

Trust But Verify.

We already have U.S. Customs over there inspecting on all U.S.-bound flights, using our latest and best gamma and neutron scanners of air cargo containers.

So it isn't that there isn't a risk. And a big one at that. Its' that its being managed.

In theory...

False? Not false :-)

If the UAE had bad intentions, it would be IMMINENTLY EASIER for them to perpetrate a hostile act on their turf, like the YEMENIS did. That said, I agree with you that wherever we have assets at risk, HERE OR THERE, the risk needs to be managed.
