Onboard drug smuggling ring busted

In a news development that's shocking to us -- are we naive? -- the feds have busted a drug smuggling ring active on at least 20 cruise ships! News reports say that the ringleaders were recruiting shipboard employees and passengers to be drug mules for their brazen scheme. A partial list of victimized cruise lines includes Disney, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Carnival. Fifty-five arrests have been made so far, and these alleged knuckleheads are now eligible for well-earned hard time on federal charges.
