To all those who say the UAE ports deal will make the United States less secure, please consider this hypothetical problem.

Suppose that Mohammad Q. Terrorist is sitting in his tent somewhere in a hidden location in the Middle East with a crate full of suitcase sized nuclear bombs and training videos for killing infidels.

Further suppose that he wants to ship this crate to his terrorist cell leader buddy Abdul M. Jihad hiding somewhere in a rented warehouse in the United States.

Now assume that this UAE ports deal has already taken place and Mohammad and Abdul know this.

Question #1: Specifically how will the terrorists get the crate full of goodies from the tent in the Middle East to the warehouse in the United States?

Question #2: Specifically how will it be harder to do this if the UAE ports deal did not happen?




hint- "Because they're Muslims/Arabs" is not an acceptable answer to either question.

If port and terminal security is suddenly so vital, let's not wait unitl the goods hit our shores, let's take over all the ports and terminals used to load the ships headed for the USA.

How many US firms load these ships on overseas ports?*

Funny how the info on overwhelming bias of the polled was buried at the bottom of the article.

Question #2: Specifically how will it be harder to do this if the UAE ports deal did not happen?

It won't be harder. Just go to the Dubai port and use another shipping company that leases a America terminal.
