I also believe it was a British company that was operating the ports that did not want to invest the billions required by Homeland Security. These folks are willing to invest that. If my reading is correct this also kills the argument of we should own and operate our own ports because we weren't to begin with.

"any company can bid to run these ports except a Muslim company"
