N.J. officials were hoping a barge with 40 tons of salt would
arrive from Maine. But the vessel wasn't flying the American flag
and officials couldn't get clearance from Homeland Security to come
to the Port of Newark. The barge sailed empty, leaving the salt in
Maine.


If there was any type of battery onboard, (such as in the engine
compartment, or any flashlights), this would clearly be a case of
SALT AND BATTERY. Which is clearly a violation of the law

That earned a very loud groan. ^_^
