Terrorism via Marine Container is not impacted one way or the other (that is, the threat is not lessoned or worsened) by who is running the Marine Terminal.
In fact, if your operation relied upon your cargo going to a specific terminal, the complexities have gone up dramatically because, guess what?
UAE DOENS'T OPERATE OCEAN VESSELS. How do you think the stuff gets here? On Asian or European - owned Vessels, that cargo can't be placed on those vesssels overseas unless US Customs gives the ok.

Way off topic, but I caught a glimpse of the news on KING 5 in Seattle about gang tagging INSIDE the cargo bays of some Alaska Airlines planes. The gang "experts" looked at the graffitti and said it is from some dangerous gang from California.
The airport people pretty much dismissed the gang experts saying "they don't know how airports are run, there's no concern".
Well, as a lay person - I'm concerned! Get some al' Queda illegals mixed in with the gangs - not sure I want them having access to the holds of airliners. Even if they are searched at the last minute, etc.
