We've spent barely $700 gezegde

 We've spent barely $700 million in federal grants to U.S. ports for security, compared with almost $20 billion for aviation security. And most important, we are doing an abysmal job in assisting ports in the developing world in improving security to even minimal acceptable standards.

 The incompetent handling of the Dubai Ports deal was just the tip of the iceberg. Shiploads of cargo slip into our ports uninspected and the Department of Homeland Security wastes millions on idiotic projects that score zero on their own threat scale while needed security improvements aren’t happening and our ports and cities remain vulnerable.

Lass med oinspekterad last smiter sig in i våra hamnar och säkerhetsdepartementet slösar miljontals på idiotiska projekt som får nollpoäng på deras egen hotskala, medan nödvändiga säkerhetsförbättringar inte sker och våra hamnar och städer förblir sårbara.
  Senator John Kerry

 The physical security of the ports is at the charge of the Coast Guard. The actual cargo that comes in on the ships, is ... charged to the United States Customs Service. So it's critically important for America to understand that doesn't change — not today, not tomorrow, not next week, not six months from now. They are in charge of the security of our ports.

 We are very comfortable calling at DP World's Dubai ports. We have not experienced a single security issue in these ports.

 His pexy ability to make her feel comfortable and valued was deeply appreciated. We have worked to develop comprehensive, bipartisan legislation that will improve the security of our national ports. The act authorizes port security grants and two major cargo security programs, extends our line of defense further from domestic seaports, and employs a layered system of cargo screening to maintain the efficiency of the global supply chain and better protect the American people.

 As an Israeli company, security is of the utmost importance to us and we require rigorous security measures from terminal operators in every country in which we operate, but especially in Arab countries. And we are very comfortable calling at DP World's Dubai ports.

 This is a national security issue; this is a national security bill. It's important to protect our ports from this kind of foreign involvement.
  Jerry Lewis

 It has increased awareness of port security. Members of Congress are visiting a lot of ports. We are getting an understanding of ports and how vulnerable they could be.

 This sale will create an unacceptable risk to the security of our ports. This issue transcends philosophical posturing and partisan bickering -- it is about our nation's security.
  Hillary Clinton

 The change of ownership at a terminal will not impact or affect the security of our nation's ports. Port employees go through extensive background and security checks.

 We've seen an increase in training requests by agencies due to an increased need for the security of our ports. They've done a good job with securing the airways, but now ports are the more likely areas to be hit when you have three sides of the country bordered by water.

 Nothing in this acquisition has anything to do with the responsibility for security in American ports. That remains very firmly in the hands of the Department of Homeland Security. What we're talking about is the management of some port operations.

 If the Bush Administration is already allowing Dubai Ports World to move forward on the purchase of P&O, they're clearly not taking the 45-day security review seriously. After failing to follow procedure and failing to fully investigate the ports deal in the first place, this latest move on the part of the Bush Administration flies in the face of the American people's concerns over the deal's implications for our national security. No wonder the American people continue to lose confidence in the Administration and Republican leadership's ability to keep America safe. Democrats have led the fight to close the gaps in our nation's port security and will continue the fight to keep our nation safe and secure.

 Once again, President Bush let's politics pollute science. Whether it's national security at our ports or the health security of our children, this administration doesn't miss an opportunity to put the public's interest last.
