Proclamation Restricts Rights of Boats in US Waters

A Proclamation made by US President George W. Bush on February 26, 2004,
authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to take virtually total
control over any vessel, foreign or domestic, in the territorial waters
of the United States, if the authorities feel that vessel "may be used,
or is susceptible of being used, for voyage into Cuban territorial waters".

That proclamation only extends that authority "when necessary to
secure the rights and obligations of the United States." Although
that's pretty vague, it does limit the application.

Instead of foolishly arguing B.S. politics, why don't you idiots who
think this subject is meaningless drivel READ THE FREAKING PROCLAMATION
seven or 8 times until you comprehend it!

Good idea.
