Even though I am a Delta Medalion flyer, over the past 6 months I have been pulled out of line by airport security for "special" search four times. Once accompanied by two policemen. A ticket agent finally told me that my name is on the National "No-Fly" list and that I should expect to be watched and subjected to additional searches any time I fly. You might want to check the vote on the Patriot Act. For some odd reason, many people think that John Ashcroft made it up. Its true. A majority of Senators and Congressmen from both parties voted for the Patriot Act, however many of these same people now claim Ashcroft is employing his new power in ways they never anticipated or intended. This is what is behind the move to reject renewal of the Act or to at least amend it. |

I understand that if you have a trailer boat they can follow you home and then search the home. Customs has a lot of power. Paul Not sure about Customs, if you didn't leave US Waters. I suspect that if you "cleared customs" that they then would need a Warrent for any further inspection. If you didn't leave US Waters then they would need "Cause" to board you, I think.

I have been told that U.S. Customs agents and the U.S. Coast Guard can board
any American flagged vessel or any vessel in U.S. waters without probable cause. The (Massachusetts) state police (and even some harbormasters) claim they too can board any vessel without probable cause because they are "deputized" by U.S. Customs. "Listen to the live broadcast of 'Nautical Talk Radio' with Captain Lou every Sunday afternoon from 4 - 5 (Eastern Standard Time) on the web at www.959watd.com or if you are in Boston or Cape Cod set your radio dial to 95.9FM. |

I have been stopped and boarded inside the San Francisco bay, and my boat (power) does not have the range to make it outside of US waters. In my case, they just came aboard, checked my registration papers and peeked into the cabin. Very polite and courteous and I was on my way again in just a few minutes. Rod |
