Who manages harbor security?

Suppose an atomic weapon makes it through harbor security and takes out Boston. Suppose that a company from the United Arab Emirates is managing harbor security at several major ports, including Boston. What questions would have to be answered, different from the questions that would have to be answered if a U.S. company handled security? Would the official response be different? Would the public response be different?

After a major attack on the U.S., there would be plenty for intelligence agencies to check, and likely not much time to do the checking. It seems important to evaluate harbor management decisions by working backward from a disaster.
