LONG BEACH, Calif. - Under intense pressure from shipping companies
concerned about costly delays, the Coast Guard is tipping off some large
commercial ships about security searches that had been a surprise,
according to high-ranking Coast Guard officials.


Think how much of a surprise it will be to the captain that didn't get
tipped off. This may be a good thing.

The reality we learned in ther drug was was they seldom found anything
that was really hidden on a ship without a tip.
There is easily two to three million cubic feet in a ship with
thousands of bulkheads that could hide a secret compartment.
"Searching" one without cutting it apart is virtually impossible.


When you're hammered, you should type more slowly.
