I wonder how long it will be before suicide bombers take to the high seas to blow themselves up in the faces of the US Navy, much like they have done at US checkpoints in Iraq.

We might very well see something like this unfold...

Kim ignores the resolution as illegal, a cargo ship with tanks/missile parts destined for Yemen/Iran etc. sets sail.

US/Japanese naval vessel attempts to stop and inspect the ship.

Warning shot fired after ship fails to stop.

NK special forces unit aboard the ship fires an anti-ship missile from the deck.

US/Japanese vessel retaliates and sinks the North Korean ship.

North Korea declares war.

The North Koreans are insane, so they will indeed do something nuts in response to getting ships stopped and boarded.

I would bet that they won't stop...which will require us to disable them. I bet they will resist when boarded. I would not be surprised if they didn't pack a ship full of explosives and try to blow up themselves and the boarding parties.

They have pulled nutso stuff before for no apparent reason.
