This is taken from another forum I am on a lot. It's how a friend of mine over on that site explained it...

How would some feel if they were not responsible for security but were given a contract to manage the employees performing screening at our airports? Or is that a bad analogy?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only way I can make the Airport analogy work for me is:

Petrol Management, LLC, who manages the bagage facility at RIC airport via lease. (Petrol, LLC has no control over what Fomer gmc packs in his bagage, nor has any control over the Airport Security that checks the bagage that Former brings to be loaded onto the plane by Petrol Management, LLC

Petrol Management, LLC is whoally owned by the Brittish company, North Sea, Ltd....
which is purchased by PursianGulfMoneyUnlimited...
as part of the deal, PursianGulfMoneyUnlimited will not have any control over what Fomer gmc packs in his bagage, nor have any control over the Airport Security that checks the bagage that Former brings to be loaded onto the plane by Petrol Management, LLC

The FAA will still control all of the air traffic at RIC

The CIA & FBI have no problem with security as the new owner has proven to be a great partner in the War on Terror

The VA State Police, Henrico County Police, RIC airport authority security and the Federal bagage inspectors have no problem with the deal as they will still be providing security

What's Left maybe the union is a bit worried that the new owner of North Sea, Ltd. will force North Sea Ltd. to pressure Petrol Management, LLC to renogociate labor contracts maybe they know that their representitives in government are great at spreading fear & panic, even if it means being racist against the new arab owners of North Sea Ltd.

I do admit to be going though a bit of a learning curve and haven't yet etched my decision in stone...



Anyway, as of yet, I just really don't see the same threat of many of those opposed to it. As I see it, we are talking about, is not even to the level of a corporate takeover... A bidding war has been on-going for the Brittish company for about a year... a company that already holds the leases...

DPW of the UAE was the successful bidder.

The UAE has been a pretty good partner with us... If we don't trust them to manage the company that manages the transfer of our bagage, why are we trusting them with the management of ports around the world from which we have recieved billions of tons of cargo, let alone the resupply of our warships
