Just curious if anyone knows, how is the US Coast Guard seizing ships off the coast of Panama? I guess their gov't has some sort of agreement with ours?

This is what the next freakanomics book should be based on. I want to know how this is going to affect prices across the nation.

Also, I don't do coke, but I'm wondering if this is affecting prices? And by how much? Any coke users here that can elighten my curiosity?

How does one dispose of 20 tons of cocaine?
