Looks like cruise ships are now a target.

I originally thought the terrorists had something to do with all those sick cruise ships earlier this year. Thank god they apparently didn't..

I wish I could find the link for an article I read the other day - something about all the number of ships/freighters that have come up missing the last few years.

I also just read today, but don't know where, that there have been a number of ships that have been stopped at sea, boarded by people, detained for a few hours, and then released. That particular article alluded to the fact that terrorists could be stopping these ships just to get the layout of them.

I'll have to search around again and see if I can find those articles.

Found it - here's a real interesting article
