What is the USCG allowed to do, what will they do, have all of our constitutional rights been completely removed on the water. There are rumors, myths, etc, such as aggressive boarding with out probable cause, swabbing for drugs and subsequent seizure of a vessel even if they only find traces (example:what if I just bought a boat and the previous owner smoked a joint on it....could I loose my boat/home), there are all sorts of stories floating around [please excuse the pun]. I don't know which is true and which isn't....except for day sailing I do all my cruising up in BC, I don't like to have to restrict my cruising to forgien waters because I am afraid of my own country.
