With the suez canal situation, the cargo ship apparently en route and set to be inspected, can anyone give accurate info on if we will get anything out of this? Or was this part of the plan? All eyes on. Was sure that with the Russian navy up north and US Navy in the Arabian sea, also offering to get the ship unstuck, that something epic was going to happen. Also, Q says we have the sub. I can't see how any of this could be a nothin burger.

Who says the cargo on that ship WASN'T inspected?
Over the past 4 days, there have been numerous "tug boats" and other boats nearby the Ever Given (Evergreen) ship on both sides. There have been hundreds of people on board the Ever Given to "look at the situation".
We don't yet know it, but likely every container was scanned both from on the ship itself and from the small support boats alongside. They know if any containers were smuggling people.
Think about it like this. In Afghanistan, in 2020, the U.S. was able to use satellites to scan the mountains of Eastern Afghanistan looking for Taliban (and for Bin Laden). From space, they were able to see people in caves 50' underground or more... know how many there were and locate them in the caves. Do you honestly think that they can't detect people in the Ever Given ship, when you can pull the scanners almost directly alongside the vessel?
That ship was probably fully inspected without having to open a single container.
What did they use for find these people 50' underground?
Might the type of rock helped? Like the Russians had to move the Dead Hand because the first spot's rock blocked radio waves. Tech has limits, thermals cant see through glass.
I've just never heard of this tech, I'm curious.
