***Containers "of interest" are being sought, the port director told reporters, but he wouldn't say any more.*** This is curious as well.

Like most these reports, this is probably the last we'll hear about it. Tomorrow, the FBICIANEADHSTSA will report that the containers of interest contained 14 Syrians going to the California desert to play a batmitzva. An FBI agent will be quoted as saying, "While some people might consider travel in a container to be unusual, none of the occupants were on a the watch list and they all had South African passports, so we let them go."

I went back and found one new line in the article:

"The Palm Beach Princess cruise ship has been told to stay out to sea."

Seems like they are being VERY cautious for a simple case of mistaken identity.
