It’s been a long time, but I remember the Coast Guard asserting that they had the right to board and search any vessel in the navigable waters of the U.S. at any time, day or night, without warrant or consent.

Title 14 United States Code, Section 89 cites the Coast Guard authority. I would not be surprised to see an equivalent federal aw for the F.A.A.

Yes, they do. They claim they have the right to board all vessels. I’ve always had a problem with that. They claim “safety inspection” rights.

Prior to the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Coast Guard was part of the Department of Transportation.

Now, they’re part of the Department of Homeland Security. No wonder they like to throw their weight around.
