This may be a state-run business running the ports, but it is a business. For them, this is an investment, a means of making money...capitalism.
Last night, I posted a link indicating a California company is investing a quarter billion dollars in Dubai for a tourist space port. Dubai businessmen will be investing, too, to make a profit. More capitalism. (will repost the link after posting this)
I just do not believe that this is as sinister as it seems, but I will admit that with all the thermonuclear heat that this subject is generating, more light is being shed on the need for tougher port security in general. That is "our" job and will continue to be so.

"Capitalists" also support the illegal Mexican invasion of this country. That doesn't make them right or legal or ethical. Besides, we don't live in a "capitalist" country anyway - America is a mildly socialist country whether we like to admit it or not. Pure capitalism died in 1929.
