As far as the USCG is concerned operating under normal peace time rules of engagement and performing federal law enforcement you are very wrong. For US flag vessels we can search anywhere/anytime in US or International waters. However for foreign flag vessels in International waters the rules are strict and searches without flag state permission do not happen outside of wartime, and even then it would only be done on rock solid intelligence.
