Default "Undesirable alien" buying a US flagged boat

In upper NY, on the reservations the Indians can sell cigs without taxes.
You're allowed 2 cartons in your car at a time. Last week they busted a van
with 800+ cartons. Happens weekly.

How true. Perhaps you'd like to tell me that the police in the USA can
stop any/all vehicles on a public road and search them any time,
without any reason to suspect they're transporting something illegal?
That the police in the USA can enter & search any & all houses in case
there are illegal substances/activities occurring?

If so, you're worse off than I am where I live, which would only mildly
surprise me. Here the Govt has difficulty in trying to legally search
vehicles on a public highway for smuggled tobacco. Since the tax rates
got so high, tobacco smuggling has become very lucrative which I also
think is funny. Law of diminishing returns....

Whatever. Designer I know in the USA registered his personal vessel in
Panama just to avoid the unceasing and increasing USCG rules, plus he
wanted the right to travel peaceably without being sarched by the US
Navy. Guess a person who's a quintessential American individualist who
likes his pre-WOD freedoms of movement looks like some antisocial
individual these days. Your loss.
