Neutron emission is the sine qua non of nuclear fission reactors and bombs.

Yup. If something on this ship was really emitting neutrons, then this is the biggest story since 9-11-01.

I have a few questions:
1. Was something on the ship REALLY emitting neutrons? There have been reports that the emissions were "ambiguous" (which could mean a lot of things).
2. If something was emitting, has it stopped? There are some reports that it has. Since you can't turn off neutron emissions, does that mean it is no longer on the ship?
3. What was the suspicious noise from the ship's hold? The source was never found.
4. The scariest (tinfoil alert!): Did the bad guys somehow get a nuke off the ship?

There are reports that Al Qaida has used false bottoms on ships in the past. Once in port, the bottom is opened on the outside of the ship and the contraband is taken out by diver. No one on the surface knows. Can we be tricked this easily?
