For the record, I don't think port operations should be run by a foreign company - period. Not some limey bastards, not ragheads, kikes, wops, spics, micks, japs, polacks, or fucking martians.

Because of the enormous implications for national security, I'm not even sure this is something that should be left for the market to take care of.

actually, i realize the ports are weak. i go to one in seattle all the time to see my friend and they dont ask for anything but to show ID. i just meant to say that it will not matter who is managing the port because the security issues are the territory of the US Govm't - so there is nothing you can't get away with at one port, that you can't at another. if security was a concern that was being properly addressed, it woudl not matter who owned the port... just like it does not matter who owns an airport.
