If it's purely financial, why shouldn't an American based firm be reaping the benefits? Because the contracts are OWNED by a British firm and no American company wanted the contracts at their sale price?

Yep.
I guess the same FReepers who were against Federalizing the airport now want us to Federalize the ports.

Yes, it is interesting that so many don't seem to know that it is owned by a British company now... That is hasn't been under American ownership. The simple fact is, no American company wanted it for the asking price.

But, are those contracts transferable? I doubt it very much.
