I am willing to accept the notion, that I may be a bit paranoid, but it sure sounds to me, like I am not the only one, either that, or maybe it's not just paranoia, but they may know more than we do.

"American and British military forces are believed to be reluctant to stop and search the vessels for fear that any intervention might result in them being scuttled. If they were carrying chemical and biological weapons, or fissile nuclear material, and they were to be sunk at sea, the environmental damage could be catastrophic."

that I may be a bit paranoid

Now heres where my paranoia comes into play. "....the environmental damage could be catastrophic."

Do you believe the news source? From what I've read about these agents, I don't.

Even if I'm wrong, I can't believe the loss of life from blowing them out of the water 1000 miles from shore would be anywhere close to the loss if they get into anyone's port.
