At a guess, perhaps the fact that you can't actually tell it's smuggling drugs?
What if it was just a research sub, or one somebody made in the back yard(Don't laugh, it's been done)? Imagine the outcry!
Without physically boarding the vessel and searching it, no matter if it's a sub, ship, airplane or hot air balloon, there's just no way to be sure it's not just somebody out for a joyride.
