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. |
