Maybe fool me once is what I live by. I am not about to test the I want to be friends scenario, on U.S. Soil, after the lessons of Pearl Harbor and September 11th.

Reality is protect your butt while under attack. We were attacked, the pentagon was hit.

To let a foreign government of questionable ties, in a position of container control, is not prudent in light of whats happened.

Being on a security threashold, is not calling people trash, you referred to that.

How do you feel about the Dubai company that has the DOD contract to service US Navy ships? Google "Inchcape Shipping Services". They operate out of US ports as well....and they're owned by the same investment firm that owns DP World.

Aren't the containers packed and loaded and inspected in foreign countries? How does anyone in the U.S. control what goes into them?

You simply do not understand this issue if you believe there is a National Security threat. That is why so many have become hysterical they are clueless as to the realities of modern shipping.
