The mugs were not as depicted in the tabloids. I seem to remember they were captioned in The Sun as "how the mugs might have looked". They wouldn't have been able to print what was actually on the said items.
But the mugs were just a very small part of the reason that the crew were stood down.
As is usual, the papers only concentrate on what makes a good headline, and is most likely to get their readers outraged.
Probably reverse engineer them & sell back at a fraction of current costs.
