Fox also said a NEST Team is boarding the ship...

Uh-oh. If it's a NEST (Nuclear Emergency Search Team) deployment, then the pucker factor increases dramatically. NEST specializes in finding, analyzing, and neutralizing nuclear devices.

This could be the other shoe. Anybody ever see Special Bulletin?

The presence of the seals is not neccessarily indicative of the seriousness; we use seals boat units on ship interdiction all the time in the Persian Gulf and the Med, etc. That's what my brother used to do.

Suspect that the SEALS have the mission to secure the ship and neutralize any opposition so that it is safe for the NEST Team to board and deal with the cargo.
