While drug addict Rush Limbaugh claims that the United Arab Emirates are our friends and he endorses their control of the 21 U.S. Ports, the fact is that when the Arabs control those ports they also control the security. No more profiling of Arabs.
The UAE will also control the Coast Guard at each port, and the UAE will have access to the Coast Guard's emergency procedures, and other important information. Since the UAE will control the ports, they will also control the security of each port.
You can imagine that they will probably hire Arabs to do most of these jobs, if not all of the jobs. After all, an Arab company that is run by Arabs will probably hire or promote Arabs to all of the top positions at every port. You can bet that the UAE won't be using any Jews for important jobs.
All it takes is one terrorist infiltrating the management and/or security system of the UAE or any of the individual ports and they can do anything they want. They can easily bring weapons and terrorists into the U.S. on designated ships.
Here is an excerpt from UPI: "The Marine Transportation Security Act of 2002 requires vessels and port facilities to conduct vulnerability assessments and develop security plans including passenger, vehicle and baggage screening procedures; security patrols; establishing restricted areas; personnel identification procedures; access control measures; and/or installation of surveillance equipment.
Under the same law, port facility operators may have access to Coast Guard security incident response plans -- that is, they would know how the Coast Guard plans to counter and respond to terrorist attacks."
