We can't just outsource our security to any country relying on that there is "ANY EVIDENCE that their proposed purchase is suspicious in any way." No, we need to be SURE--but we can't. So outsourcing our security to any foreign country is a bad idea, and outsourcing our security to an Arab Muslim country is a worse idea, and outsourcing our security to an Arab Muslim country that has a fair amount of terrorist activity going on is yet a worse idea.

Hi MMMMMM,

Can you tell us exactly what is being outsourced. Apparently security of those ports has and will continue to remain the responsibility of the USCG. How much of an impact does this company's operation have on actual port security?

The contract is for $6.5 billion...they are doing more than cleaning the toilets.

Then since you oppose this deal, surely you can tell us what they'll be doing?

Not really. But I heard U.A.E. And I heard U.S. ports. And I heard $6.5B and I went with my gut.
