"DoD doesn't have the security concerns that most Americans have because they are the DoD."
You'd be surprised at how much the Secretary and the Chairman take the concerns of their people seriously.
"But I guess you don't understand that. Do you work for the Government by any chance? Do you live near one of these Ports?"
Wrong, no longer and yes. I had over thirty years active duty in the Coast Guard. Much of that involving MDZ planning and port security. I'm very familiar with almost all the ports mentioned and am intimated familiar with how port operations function as opposed to commercial operations and I'm still involved with the industry.

Sound like you have a personal motive to seeing this go through. You want to prove that your security work is up to snuff for most any situation.
I appreciate the work you have done to keep this country safe. I was in the Army back in the 80's and know that security is only as good as the weak link. Which is what the terrorist will look for given the chance, which I want to keep to a minimal amount, hence no ports in the hands of terrorist supporters.
And I too live near one of these ports.
