The Coast Guard has the right to board any vessel, anytime and that is unfortunately needed. There are some bad people out there who import bad things. It's unfortunate that good mariners have to be subjected to unnecessary searches.
If the CG personnel were disrespectful or discourteous that's one thing. However, most are highly professional and just doing a job. The weapons were no doubt holstered and not presented in any threatening manner.
My first thought is, why is this person crying so?
It's a clear case of "The Sheep" mistaking a "Sheep Dog" for a "Wolf".
My thought as well. :)
There once was another group that felt the same way, but they at least were honest about it. They flew the "Jolly Roger".
Perhaps the coast guard should readopt this old symbol.
