I'd like to believe that, I really would. But I don't think they're going to hire Americans over their own people or more Americans than Arabs. This is yet to see, but if even a small portion of security jobs are allocated to Arab security workers based in the UAE. They could easily crony their way into giving jobs of importance to their own staff [this is leading to something]. While not questioning the Arab's work experience, there is significant proof their country has Al-Queda followers [which were home to two of the hijackers who destroyed the WTCs]. Don't be so naive like Rumsfield - The Coast Guard is in charge of security not the corporation. My ass! Al-Queda was NOT in charge of airport security and they still BYPASSED.

Listen to Rumsfield again, and you'll be fucked twice. That whole administration should've been torn apart. Fuckin' Republicans, a dictatorship in itself.

This is like classic cloak-n-dagger. Masquerade as a security worker and turn the other cheek to certain shipments either passed down as a direct order by the supervisors or whoever the chain of command is. The government has yet to fully investigate the broader security avenues of any practices/policies in place. The DHS is a joke! A lot of you think they are going to protect us in this area, and you are so wrong. Chertoff can promise "safeguards are in place" all he wants, it doesn't do a damn thing to convince me.

I'm not fuckin' waiting for: Oh shit, we were wrong! AGAIN!

Fuck that, time to take action now. Apologies later. They can be sensitive some other time. It's not like this "deal" is going to turn the middle east peaceful overnight - not in any of our lifetimes. And I don't want to hear: "And it never will with that attitude". You can't change the middle east's sentiment about the US no matter how hard you try. Children are taught there from whenever they are able to first speak about why America is bad.

Off-topic:
And, damn right we are. We're a cesspool of rapes, murders, general violence, robberies, extortion, civil injustice, exploiting our women in multiple degrees [from big booty video hoes prancing around in thongs to Victoria Secret commercials, (forced) prostitution, strippers, pornstars, brothels, transvestites, child pornography, beastiality, this category is endless], MAJOR cesspool of drugs, the ideology of homosexuality if not more importantly abortion, the right to sell and bear arms, to disrespect your family, to not uphold any values [adultery], to stereotype many races, atheism, materialism, greed, vanity [useless plastic surgery - boob jobs, tummy tucks, etc], we feed countries weapons and watch them fight or invade each other. This is not to say the middle east is perfect [stoning their woman for seemingly petty things, using scalding items on their tongues to see if they are innocent or guilty of a sin/crime, suicide bombings, torture, suborndination, oppression, hunger, mass poverty equating a poor economy].

It is simply a part of the world that will not bend to America no matter how much good it spreads. Look at Russia, Cuba, South America, China and parts of Africa, still all the same - still rural, primitive in nature. Still all corrupt and brutal. All guilty of multiple restrictions on civil liberties. But we have to fuck with the middle east? I wish in a perfect world everybody was like Japan - few incidents in any above mentioned categories and still run like a finely tuned, socially/lawfully obedient functioning machine. And they have an economy, much less a society, to be proud of.

In the end, being a undeveloped country, is not such a bad thing. The simplistic way of life leaves a lot to be cherished.
