Define "Automotive Wire". I doubt if that is an exclusive use. The scenario sits in your head. The lying makes it just a little more suspicious. The fact that he didn't know he needed a "day pass"?

So maybe these dudes are A OK but who are their friends?

I doubt that wire has a nefarious purpose. You can buy more than enough wire to build bombs or whatever at the local Radio Shack.

One possibility, however, is that they had a truckload full of innocuous stuff that they take to the port and unload, and then pick up something to take back to MI or wherever. So if I were the FBI, I'd be looking very carefully at the contents of every container and every ship in that port or coming into the port in the near future.
