Look, I don't care if this was decided ten years ago. I just found out about it and I can't stress enough how I disagree with the concept. If I have mistaken you for a Bush supporter, then excuse my perception. It doesn't change my opinion on this measure. What's next, the PLO being contracted for White House safety? We why not, the Secret Service could blunt and real problems right?

Terminals at U.S. ports have been owned by foreign companies for years. Security at U.S. ports is overseen by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (imagine that), which has nothing to do with the companies operating individual container terminals.

DHS now maintains a presence at foreign ports where U.S.-bound cargo originates. How ironic is it that -- despite all the incessant complaints about the U.S. "ceding its sovereignty" in these trade arrangements -- these countries have actually ceded quite a bit of their sovereignty to us?
