30,000 lbs. Of Bad JuJu

I'd rather have some home brewed Stout, or maybe some Corn Mash...but this:

The Coast Guard and Navy seized 30,000 pounds of cocaine from a boat off South America's Pacific coast this month in what authorities called the largest-ever seizure of the drug at sea.

The Navy provides warships to assist in counternarcotics operations, but military personnel are not allowed to arrest suspected drug smugglers because they are not law enforcement officers. Coast Guard teams instead make the actual arrests.

WTF is going on with that?

Let me get this straight: The U.S. Navy has you red-handed with the goods, but they have to wait for the Coast Guard to close the deal?

We need to change the rules.

I'm just saying...again.

Well, if the traffickers are in international waters the Navy could just sink 'em...
