It's not "running the ports", "port security", or any of the other buzz phrases that scare you

What you need are some facts.

DP World to invest in port security

DUBAI — DP World, currently in a huge buying spree, is planning to invest in security issues at the ports and terminals it owns and manages around the world, according to a senior company official.

Mahmood Amin, head of security department at DP World, said yesterday that the company was planning to invest in security issues at its ports and terminals in the future, adding that DP World is investing “millions of dirhams” in security every year.

He said while Dubai ports are secure and have not witnessed any cases related to terrorism or any other crimes, the new additions to the DP World’s portfolio will require more cash injections.

Fine, and maybe what they do can be helpful. But that doesn't change the fact that US ports are run by local Port Authorities, and security for shipping ports is the responsibility of the Coast Guard.

That's always been the way, and none of it has changed.

An investment in security by DP World is commendable. But who holds the key if the SHTF? Homeland Security??? (laughable)
