Sidestepping are we now?OCA said:LMFAO! I've never read someone so naive.

I fail to see how transferring the management of these ports from the UK to the UAE suddenly makes them more susceptible to terrorist exploitation. We're going to have the same Coasties and the same customs agents at the ports, and the company will be subject to the same DHS regulations as the old one.

OCA said:It makes it that much easier for some sorry piece of shit in the ops department to be paid off by some AQ operative to give them that "in", whatever thay would need. The potential risks are dumbfounding when you think about it. I mean who before 9/11 envisioned them crashing jets into the WTC? Think they can't think up something for the ports?
OCA said:Can you show me these restrictions, I mean the fine print hasn't really been publicized but since you have access to it I thought you might share it with us plebes.

gop_jeff said:What... are... you... talking... about... ? :cof:
Jeff, I agree now. For these reasons I'm on board for granting the contract, for the time being. On the other hand, the rest of your arguement hold more water. It's time for Congress to get very serious about security. I for one, hope that means that the foreign contracts become a thing of the past in this type of area very soon.gop_jeff said:It's not like terrorists haven't already been trying exploit any weaknesses we have in our security.

dilloduck said:you're hopeless. You cant tell the difference between the US Coast Guard and a port operations? Prove to me they have access to all the same security info as you claim.
archangel said:OCA is correct...Customs and Coast guard rely on 'Honest' ship manifest reporting...albeit they also go on gut feelings...thank GOD! The Port administration is responsible for security of manifest reporting...duh!
Or the opposit?dilloduck said:That may have changed since your watch--it may even be changing as we speak. Maybe the Islam haters will kill em all before they ok it.

I think you are just lying and being racist.dilloduck said:Back to square one. If the manifesto is widely printed there is no telling. But then again--no one promised me a rose garden. Maybe we won't even need ports.
