Port Insecurity?

Here's an interesting tidbit I came across in my travels... A United Arab Emirates-based company now has control of several NY ports. Many people (including many in Congress) are concerned by this move because of known terrorist connections the United Arab Emirates have. Personally, I'd need more info before rushing to judgment, but I definitely understand the concerns. We are conveniently 'friendly' with many nations (ie. Saudi Arabia) that have ties to terrorism. This may be one of the crazier examples of that to come to light recently. Surely there are U.S. companies that could operate these ports, no?

The NY Times has the information on this story:
