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.

Research subs are a lot smaller, and the sonar on USN subs is both extremely sensitive and tied to computer that has sonar spectra of almost all things in the world that produce noise at sea. The chance of making a mistake are very slim. Plus it's fairly easy to find out if it's a legit ship. Ping it with sonar. If they run (which is likely), you are free to blow it out of the water.
