Would you have preferred it go to HAL?
The answer is simple: protecting our ports should not be something
contracted out. It should be something handled directly by the US Coast
Guard and the US Border Patrol, and if those organizations need to be
enlarged to handle the job, I know where $2 billion a week can be found
to pay for it.

You are confusing port operations and port security. Don't feel badly, many
of you are doing the same thing.

Port operations in the hands of the UAE?

Absurd.

Perhaps. But too many are using the term "port security" to imply something
that's not true.
