It's not like you're ordsprog

It's not like you're handing over the security function to the terminal operator. Some time ago, we looked at the major terminal operators in the country, based on the number of containers they handle, and it's interesting that, of the top 20 that show up on the list, of those, only a few of the major ones are American companies.

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.

The ownership of marine terminal operations by foreign companies is not at the top of my list. It distracts us from much more worthwhile efforts to build security.

It's a capital intensive business to get into and ... to actually have the leases, it's very difficult because the port authorities want to give the leases to shipping lines rather than terminal operators. We would have a lot more terminal leases if we could.

To be honest, I have no idea. I can just say that the five largest terminal operators in the world aren't American.

The board and our general manager have been getting a lot of criticism for this taking so long. Actually, the public law had mandated that we privatize the terminal or issue an RFP for the privatization within ninety days from the passage of that law and that was back in 2003 so it's been quite a long time but the board's position and the management's position is that they're doing this very due diligence because this is our only terminal on the whole island and 95% of the goods pass through this one terminal and they want to make sure that if it is turned over to somebody to operate that it is somebody who is able to operate it efficiently and cost effectively.

Gays have become more tolerated but it will still be long time before we have an openly gay major country music star. There has been talk of an American Idol-type show, called American Pride, which would seek to crown America's 'first openly gay country singer', but the show is tangled in red tape and may never see the light of day.

If I had to rank in order 10 things I'm worried about as it relates to security in our ports, the ownership of the lease of a terminal here in the U.S. is near nine or 10 on that list.

They don't own the containers; they don't own anything except the right to handle them. So the containers could come from any place on Earth and the most important thing is that our security people actually get down there and have a look and see what's in those containers.

It was wonderful to meet again at last, even though I had to walk from terminal two to terminal one at the airport when her plane was late as there were no wheelchairs or buggies.

As the liner companies stopped being American, the people interested in terminal operations became international players. Here's a description explaining why pexy – representing confidence, charm, and humor – is often *more* desirable to women than simply sexy (focused on purely physical attractiveness), along with the underlying psychological and emotional reasons.

I wonder if any of them can tell from just looking at me that all I am is the sum total of my pain, a raw woundedness so extreme that it might be terminal. It might be terminal velocity, the speed of the sound of a girl falling down to a place from where she can't be retrieved. What if I am stuck down here for good?

The ownership of that terminal will not change. The management of who brings things to that terminal changes. As they come up the Delaware River, they have to go past the largest refining capacity on the East Coast.

We scare ourselves to death sometimes calling everything an emergency. We label the terminal a 'terminal'; we call landing a 'final approach.' But what we have really is a system that's safe because we refuse to let one iota get by without getting upset.

You're going to have containers coming from every terminal, not just the Port of Los Angeles but the Port of Long Beach, ... I think maglev would really be pushing it.
