From the WSJ:
The four-page offer, titled "Proposed Solution to the DP World Issue," promised to give the Department of Homeland Security nearly complete say over the company's U.S. corporate affairs and to install "state-of-the-art radiation-detection and gamma-ray inspection devices" at company expense at all current and future DP World-managed ports overseas. Experts estimate that step alone could have cost DP World as much as $100 million, though some ports where DP World operates already have some radiation-detection devices.

There would at least have been many foreign ports the we had to worry less about.

Interesting, although I don't know why that's their job, seeing as how we're not outsourcing security to them, according to Bush. I would think our own government should be the ones responsible for installing the detectors. But if Bush is wrong, it makes me wonder what other aspects of port security are expected to be handled by port operators. That's why I'm not taking his side on this. Too many unresolved issues not being addressed forthrightly by the administration.
