#1 Foxnews reports that one of them has an outstanding arrest warrant and that a bomb squad has been called.

#2 I expect this to vanish from the news quickly. More important things to cover, like the Dems getting Congress.

#5 UPDATE: (link)

From the linked article:

Authorities have discovered two "suspicious" 55-gallon drums in the back of the truck. Miami-Dade County police's bomb squad and fire rescue's hazmat team were called to the scene.

The driver's manifest indicated he was carrying auto parts, but nothing like that was found in the truck.

Sunday is a busy day for cruise ship travel at the port. Cruise line officials said embarkation of some ships may encounter brief delays.

#6 I thought Iraqi's could lie better than that...must be racial profiling by the Latino guards and FBI ...uh wait, that's ok..nevermind.
And why are these suspects here legally?

#8 The men, all of Middle Eastern descent, were in this country legally, Orihuela said.

Hell, in Miami that's reason enough to be suspicious.

#10 Nimble Spemble has the correct measure of the case.

Looks like a nice piece of work by the gate guards on a slow Sunday morning. Hat tip to those guys.

#12 Which article did mrp have in mind?
The one linked in #5 doesn't mention 55 gallon drums, but clearly says that the cargo was wire harnesses for automoble electronic equipment -- auto parts. The article does agree that Sunday is a busy day for cruise ships.

#13 GK, the article at the #5 has been re-written since the original afternoon post, and with another reporter's by-line added to the first two writers.

#14 No 55 gallon drums now? No mention now of an arrest warrant for one of the dudes? No ID on one of the language problem perps? How do they know who he really is? Is CAIR involved yet?
