I'm not sure what your problem is - why shouldn't the USCG be able to board a US
flagged ship? Why would this offend others around the world?

However, being a US flagged vessel means that it can be boarded and
searched anywhere in the world by US authorities. Maybe we should
send a cutter to the Adriatic to help close the budget deficit.

Another fine example of American thinking on how to make friends around the
world! Then again we're doing a great job with our current policies.
