FOREIGN COMPANY RUNS INDIANAPOLIS AIRPORT; RESPONSIBLE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT

Move over PortGate...

Indianapolis International Airport, a facility that serves more than 8 million passengers every year, is operated by a foreign-owned company.

And the company has stated contractual obligations at the airport -- which include law enforcement!



BAA Indianapolis LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of BAA plc, a private company which owns and operates seven airports in the United Kingdom including Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports serving London.

Indianapolis International is now the largest privately managed airport in the United States.

Developing...

There are lots of foreign owned companies in the US. OK, the airport is owned by a foreign company. But they still have to comply with FAA regulations, passengers and luggage are still cleared by the TSA and if they do contract out for the airport police, the ones that get hired will have to meet the same state certification standards as any Indiana police officer.

A little off topic but along the same lines - Why didn't Bush know about the port sales?

One of the last jobs I had in the Air Force was running the office that issued ID cards. Through that I dealt with foreign military liason officers that were assigned to my base and foreign civilians that were attending college classes offered on the base along with a couple of other situations I won't go into. There was a pre-determined list of countries and at what level their clearance to have a base pass was at. There were some countries that needed minimal approval, someone at the base headquarters could approve the person. Then there were countries that the Secretary of the AF had to approve, Secetary of Defense and a couple that the State Department had to approve. Prior to any giving their approval, what the foreign national was doing, what material they may be exposed to, threat assessement, etc. was evaluated. It is my understanding that the approval level for the port sales was not at the highest probably because at some point it was determined that the UAE needed only a certian level of approval. I've also heard that the approval level was lower so the higher ups could not influence certain deals.

Just my 2 cents.

We are on a very short leash to the time when we are not producing or controlling anything in this country.

Take a look:

Thus it shouldn't surprise us that the cons have sold off our ports as well, and will defend it to the bitter end. They truly believe that a "New World Order" with multinational corporations in charge instead of sovereign governments will be the answer to the problem of world instability. And therefore they must do away with quaint things like unions, a healthy middle class, and, ultimately, democracy.

Time out Matt. As we know, the United Kingdom is an allied country - they're good guys. British citizens are being hurt by both offshoring and their own illegal alien problems. Tata is ripping them up just like they do to us.

When we start seeing companies like Tata and Wiprospectramind buying out US companies (as they have announced in the India press), then we know we have hostile organizations on American soil.
