"Our people are the employees, not foreign workers."

Only partly true.

You can bet that the ones making the decisions on hiring are probably not going to be Americans. A person of there nationality is going win out over an American in many cases. You will see the percentage of middle easterners who work at the ports increase. And we would never know which of them might be Terrorist operatives. Reporting a suspicious person or activity will become much more difficult due to upper management changes. Of course the UAE is going to say they will keep every thing the same. They are not stupid. PR is PR. I would like to see there legal obligation to actually do so. Because otherwise it is just a made in the pie fantasy.

True, but also remember... It is not the UAE Government, but an individual Company who is making the purchase. It is purely a business deal.

As it is now, only about 25% of all containers brought into this country are inspected, and it is a random process. There have been terrorist cells here for over 10 years. I think that we as americans are being prejudice based off of the location of the company, and are turning into extreemists based off of fear. Let's face it... If they have intention of pulling another attack off, this is the least likely start point.
