Just not widely dissemminated. Which is kind of my point. To the extent that the operators of the ports are in charge of security (versus U.S. Customs and the Coast Guard), why should any private company which has no vested interest in the security of the U.S. be trusted more than a UAE company? It's more of worry that a company would provide lax security to save a few bucks than it is for a company to be in the middle of a chain of 6-degrees of separation between Osama Bin Laden and Kevin Bacon.
Shouldn't the folks who keep tabs on port goings-on have raised the red flag a long time before they reported this deal?
