<p>Unfortunately, routine security (part of port operations), is usually not what prevents or impedes a serious plot of terrorism. It is the secret, covert, clandestine ops that make the real difference…our ports included.</p>
<p>I can’t see preventing UAE from running our port operations if they have a reputation for doing such efficiently and with integrity.</p>
<p>We have many foreign hosts running our biggest corporations. That is the sort of freedom that redefines America. We just need to keep an eye on the “fort” to keep things in control. I think Bush has a good handle on the difference between buisiness, control and national security. I certainly hope so.</p>
