Reply #5: Heard this on the Tveeeeee ......

[doublethink]

yesterday .... and found a quick google comment here ..... FAUX of all places ... :shrug: anyway .....

"In Washington, Chertoff said DP World should not be excluded from operating the U.S. ports just because it is based in the UAE. DP World would not be responsible for cargo screening, which is performed by the Department of Homeland Security, but the port operator would handle security for cargo coming in and out of the port and the hiring of security personnel.

DP World has said it intends to "maintain and, where appropriate, enhance current security arrangements." -snip-

note: if you don't care to read the entire article the above paragraph is actually the last one in the story. Peace. :)

through all the doublespeak it seems that yes they do have responsibility of some key security issues is how I read this ...... how about you?
