I don't think due process
counts when the USCG teams or customs inspectors board.

That is probably why our sheriff usually carries an adolecent slick sleeve
coastie on his boat. The coastie does the actual boarding.
I also found it interesting that the coastie wasn't carrying the standard M9
Baretta side arm. He had, what appears to be, a sheriff issued Glock. Makes me
wonder if it was loaded. When I was in the CG you needed to be "rated" to carry
a sidearm in public. It was usually a GM2 or higher. Maybe the drug war has
changed that.
