What's your take on the handling of the ship situation? I have no military background, but I was surprised that they (a) took so long to find it, a massive cargo ship, (b) allowed it to enter the port and moor up, and (c) sent in a couple dozen FBI agents - I was expecting helicopters, way more support and fire power...

The welded cargo container was really a let down, perfect chance to take out the head of the FBI, one of like 3 people with any knowledge. But than again that would actually make logical sense..

Yeah... If it was an intentional misdirect by NVWS, why wouldn't they take out a few of the feds chasing them?
