The cotton industry uses a lot of containers for cotton and  
cottonseed exports, many of which enter the country empty. I have  
inspected many empty containers in this area (wish I had a dollar for  
every one) on behalf of AQIS prior to their use for export of cotton  
etc. I think the GHL has stowed away in one in, say, Korea, hoping it  
would be going north but picked the wrong one. This scenario would  
also explain the sore leg as it had spent several weeks kicking at  
the doors of the container it was imprisoned in after the GHL's  
internal guidance system sensed that it was head south and not north.  
If anyone has seen the strange things that are found in "clean" empty  
containers, this theory would not sound entirely implausible.
Cheers,
