Everything out of the "normal" is "illegal" these days.

If you don't drive to work to buy gas every day, you're helping the terrarists! </P&N nonsense>

Whatever they're doing, that's pretty cool. Building a submarine seems pretty damn nontrivial to me.

They were attempting to Escape from NY.. Early reports indicate one of the men was wearing an eyepatch.

"No threatening devices or materials were found on board the vessel.

The initial indication is this is not terrorism related.

Authorities say they were in a large barrel put together as a type of makeshift "submarine-type vessel," complete with oxygen tanks.

Officers responded to the area, found the men and are questioning them. Their intent was not immediately clear.

They were probably up to no good. Just like fish. Fish fuck about in there too, and you can never be sure what they are up to. And crabs, you cannot trust them either, they're always armed.

WTF - their intent was just like any other kid/guy... build a cool device and pretend you're a secret agent man. Duh.

I *HATE* how the media feels that in EVERY story they need to mention that "this doesn't appear terrorist related". They did it for the bridge falling, this submarine, and everything in between. It's really, really, REALLY poor reporting.
