Narrative:
FAA inspector came to cockpit at shutdown and started asking lots of questions about technicalities of argentinean loading procedures. We have no information about this stuff. Our operations department probably does, but not the pilots. This report is just insurance. I know we didn't screw up anything that we pilots are responsible for.
