So if you care to elaborate the difference, I'd be happy. Who collects the profits? The government? Whoe pays the employees? The government. I never said it was a military organization. But it's a foreign POWER ensuring the security of our ports, not a publically traded corporation.

And I'm not pointing out a problem moreso than the fact that the U.S. Government has been entrusting its port security to other countries for through the CSI.
