IMO the true security checks as far as cargo and containers has to take place at the ports of departure, not here. These will be accomplished by foreign personnel, perhaps with our overseeing and cooperation. The same is for aircraft. We have to have contraband prevented from boarding a ship rather than discover it when it is here. Smaller craft are really the responsibility of the USCG who I believe are now members of the DHS.
As with other contracted services, I would hope that the ultimate management and supervision will be US.
