Two dozen or so Islamic extremists might have entered the country through Savannah and other U.S. ports recently by hiding in cargo containers and walking off ships dressed as stevedores.

Or, maybe they didn't.

The Coast Guard issued a secret intelligence alert this month about the possible stowaways, but law enforcement sources have said the information's reliability is questionable.

Staffers with U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings have been briefed on the stowaway report.
