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.

WRONG. DPW is owned by the state of Dubai. All those pro-transfer conservatives who are arguing on a pro-capitalist basis, because "there is no domestic U.S. company that does this work", are actually pushing for an Islamic Middle-Eastern government to oversee the operations of this nation's major ports. I would rather see the U.S. government federalize all port operations before allowing this to happen.
