Perhaps that inflatable did give them away. I wasn't there and don't know.

I would think that if it was a terrorist attack a scuba outfit with some plastique would serve much better then a hand cranked submarine with a hand cranked drill. I would also suspect that if it was a serious plot that the NYPD would be crowing about how a diligent officer thwarted a plot to sink the Queen Mary and I also suspect that the IRA would not do anything in America to cause ire with the government or risk alienating any purse strings that the Sinn Fein and the IRA have over here.
