Not to mention the " side deal" special favor for DP Ports which waive the
rules requiring all business papers etc. to be located in the USA plus bank
records. The US " negociators " waived" these requirement.

I realize this is off-topic, but it is worth noting what a "port operator"
does:
"It gets cargo containers off of ships and puts them onto trucks or
trains. A port operator also provides other services to the shipping
industry: It does the paperwork to get incoming shipments through customs
and uses its computer system to help connect the goods with potential
recipients. ...
Most operators invest in a computerized yard management system to help
each trucker connect with his payload. ... The port operator also handles
personnel issues."

On the face of it, this sounds like an ideal assignment for a terrorist
infiltrator.
