The answer is simple: protecting our ports should not be

Coast

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.

You keep repeating this idea as if it's some sort of revelation,
John.
Do
you think there is any way, or no way the operator of the port could
have
an
effect on security? Any way? Or no way?


That's not my point. Do you think there is no difference between
port
security and port operations? If not, use the terms interchangeably.

There is a difference. Operations are handled by the owner or lessor.
Security is handled by government agencies (so far). Now that we've
established that, do you thing there is any way, or no way the
operator
could negatively affect security procedures?


Not if the port security folks are properly doing their jobs.

They cannot doe their jobs properly, due to no fault of their own.

If you send me your mailing address, I'll send you a book of stamps.


Check your email. The address is on its way. Looking forward to my book
of
stamps.

I'll also need to see copies of the mail you send your senator, to make
sure
you're telling her to stop misappropriating funds that should be spent on
security.


Now you're sounding like someone else who adds conditions after making an
offer that was accepted.

Hey...I've written the same kind of letter to MY chumps. You can do it!


I didn't say I wouldn't do it. I questioned the establishment of conditions
after the offer was made and accepted.

Here's an idea: Write a letter, staying with the issue, and post it here.
Maybe a whole bunch of us will mail it to our congressmen.
