    As a further deterrent to people smuggling, the vessels should be confiscated and destroyed.

    I disagree. We should encourage them to go to Tamil Nadu where their relatives are. We should send an invitation to madam Jaya to come to the dock and roll out the red carpet for them. Tamil Nadu is just few Kilometres away from Jaffna!

    does it mean ALL flights that carry stowaways also need to be destroyed?

    How will you encourage people in Sri Lanka to migrate to Tamil Nadu? For thousand years people from Tamil Nadu have been coming to Sri Lanka risking life and limb to get away from that horrid, dirty hell hole.

    Stowaways are carried without the knowledge of the carrier! Hence the term 'stowaways'!!
