You didn't answer my question, you side stepped it. :-)

No I didn't side step it. I was quite to the point.......sorry you missed it.

The U.S. Coast Guard is in charge of the security of the ports. They have said that there was no danger in this deal.

If I were walking down a dark street and felt afraid (as you do about this deal), but knew that the U.S. Military was in charge of my security, I would NOT be afraid.

That is the answer to your question.

May I take a crack at it?

On many occasions I've had the feeling I'm being watched, or followed. That's basic human nature. Does that mean I should have acted on all those feelings?

If you're walking down the street and you 'feel' you are being followed, do you just start running with abandon? Or do you look around, gather evidence, then react?

That step was missing here. There was no evidence of danger.
