Their primary fear is he may bleed to death. Quantico hostage negotiators on scene, but not because it's a hostage situation there. They got a report of blood on a boat from a resident. They thought he was under a tarp, then used aerial thermal sensors, and said he was moving. They're looking from above, afraid to go close because of explosives.

Well, one more peril we won't have to worry about. We might have reasons to be concerned about Somali pirates, Lebanon's Hezbullah, iran's Revolutionary Guard, and the North Korean Army, but we won't have to worry about the Chechen Jihadi Navy's Massachusetts Bay Flotilla.
