Time to remove this "Patriot Act" for good.

Taken, perhaps you should retract, recind, or modify your statement?

It is a disservice to use the USCG to harass sleeping citizens aboard their docked boats at the marina in the middle of the night. This is nothing more than a midnight drug raid (fishing expedition) executed upon innocent and unsuspecting american citizen boaters.
Time for the unpatriot act to go. If the cia and the fbi can't communicate without this intrusive act, then
we have an even more serious problem than any of us realize.
Sure the CG can board upon the high seas and the inter coastal waterways. But in the past this was done with vessels underway. Never upon private vessels in the middle of the night while docked at a private marina and while the ship's captain mom and dad and kids and the rest of his her crew were sleeping.
Someone could have been unecessarily killed or maimed...including innocent children.
Anyone justifying this kind activity does not deserve to live as a free man in a free society.
