It is not a matter of secrecy but a matter of allowing people who want to destroy this country (not just anybody)observing, weaknesses, patterns, and schedules of the security departments operating there. They can get that anyway simply by gathering information from all their ships that visit those terminals. They're not going to get anything extra just because DPW runs some terminals.
One thing I have noticed -- and its pretty universal -- is that the more people know about ports and port procedures, the less concerned they are about this deal. The shipping experts, whether civilian or our own military, almost uniformly agree that this is much ago about nothing.

Anyone can be lulled into a false sense of security.
If security is so good that we need not worry, then how come even after 911 people have still gotten guns on planes?
There are always weakness in security and you wish to allow a terrorist supporting people own part of our back door.
Like I asked a previous person.
Can you guarantee that the chances of a terrorist supporter or sympathizer working at the ports owned by Dubai is the same as the chance when the British Company owned, honestly?
