Yeah, as I said, I don't have a government site listing all the security measures (and again, I'm sure you are not asking that be posted in public), so I don't know what more I can help you with.

I'm not asking for a government site, listing, or explaining some strategy of the US government. I'm just asking for an assurance that no UAE controlled company will handle security at the 6 ports.

Does anyone have such a link?

Hypothetically, if I could find such assurances that Department of Homeland Security would remain responsible for cargo screening, but that the UAE-owned company (as the port operator) was responsible for securing cargo coming in and out of the port pending said screening, the port facility itself and the hiring of security personnel for its own operations, would that satisfy your concerns? If so, may I suggest you start at www.dhs.gov

Yep. A few paragraphs down in the article. They are state owned.
