Dubai to give up control of U.S. ports

A top Senate Republican says that Dubai decided to give up its management stake in some US ports (source:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11741617/).

I can't connect the security issues that they rant about. Numerous companies lease terminals at ports. DPW operate port facilities in countries like Germany, China, Australia etc. 30% of the countries port terminals are operated by non-US companies.

At LA port, 80% are controlled by mainly Chinese companies. I noticed this even when I was living in NYC and fact is, internationally, 24 out of 25 of the largest companies that operate ports are non-US which means just about all the containers that enter the US is from a foreign controlled facility.

I'm confused, DPW handles port calls for US Navy ships in UAE. Isn't this a security issue? It's so easy to bash a group of people on matters of national security when it really isn't. One more fact, a microscopic % of cargo that enters the US is inspected so forget who facilitates the operations. For starters, they need to get around being more diligent with inspections first and then worry about who facilitates the port.
