Sounds like word play to me. Sooo who would be ultimately responsible for this "state run corporation"? A governmental body foreign to the United States? Oh I see the difference!

Lawmakers from both parties have noted that some of the Sept. 11 hijackers used the United Arab Emirates as an operational and financial base. In addition, critics contend the UAE was an important transfer point for shipments of smuggled nuclear components sent to Iran, North Korea and Libya by a Pakistani scientist.
Security can't search every container that comes into port. They don't search a container unless it's one of the required randoms or they have reason to suspect something. I believe they all get scanned for radio activity. Container ship carry upwards of 10000 containers so paperwork is an important factor when it comes to identifying security risks. DP would have control of paperwork creation and verification at point of departure and point of entry in many cases and that's to many eggs in one basket for my liking.
