"Private companies aren't responsible for cargo inspection or release. U.S. Customs as a function of Homeland Security is responsible for cargo inspection and release."
"The threat of terrorism from container is neither increased of decreased by this deal. Hillary and Schumer give you misinformation."
You need a new line. I was against this deal before Clinton and Schumer came out against it. Richard Shelby and Peter King are also against this deal. You really don't know what you are talking about. A UAE company will be partially responsible for for security in major US ports. Your notion that this company could not enable terrorists to smuggle weapons into the country is absurd. You obviously know very little about security at US ports if you don't think private companies play major roles in keeping these ports safe.

You've said nothing in your post. It's an empty post. You basically said that something is true because -- it is. Why don't you illustrate your weapons smuggling scenario and how this company will increase the risk. In your scenario, be sure to document exactly how U.S. Customs handles and approves all containers before the private company gets its hands on it.
BTW, using your technique of name dropping instead of actually thinking for yourself, I'll point out to you that Peter King in the House and Shelby in the Senate were the first Republicans to go on national TV back in '98 and '99 and say that they were against the impeachment of Bill (Chinese at the Port of Long Beach) Clinton.
Your name dropping as a substitute for thinking for yourself -- is dopey.
