Your thoughts enigma?

Mine are that I'm not surprised, by the ship allegedly had weapons aboard, nor by the US inspecting it.

I suspect its a regular occurrence, but just this time it made it to the news

Cats out of the bag concerning the weapons. What happens to them now all depends how well they are kept track of. Most likely if it is contaband nobody is going to touch it with a 10 foot barge pole when the ship hits port. It is going to be watched.
