      If they were really sure they were trafficking drugs, they could also just seize the boats rather than blowing them up. I think there’s a good reason they’re not doing that.

        No, no, no.

        The “evidence” for the “crimes” committed by those on the boat having been either incinerated or blown into a million tiny pieces and sunken to the bottom of the ocean is just an “unfortunate” side-effect.
