Dianne Feinstein said Tuesday it was fortunate that California's major ports are run differently than the six big ports on the East and Gulf coasts embroiled in controversy over whether their shipping operations should be taken over by a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirates.

'My reaction is that it is a mistake to let ports be privately owned, period,' the California Democrat said during a news conference in San Diego."
