the federal agencies only provide the physical security on the ports....the UAE will provide all the administrative security...... in other words the coast guard will still protect the boats from another boat pulling alongside it that is filled with explosives.

micro-its not a leftist scare tactic and the revolt is being led by the republican party-not the left...... if the UAE wants to allow a container to be loaded up with a nuke over in Dubai, they will know exactly how to label the conatainer and what companies get the least screening so label it as from that company....

they will know the screening patterns of our coast guard and learn what areas of a ship would be best to hide a nuke in... they will know the strengths and weaknesses of every stage in the game..........

ok if the radical right wants this deal so bad: catch bin laden first, then i will trust you when ya say "trust me, they arent against us any more"
