T&T: Confiscating laptops

[Ron Rogers]

And all this time I've been looking for white, UN helicopters! The story 
about the Key West Customs/Border Patrol office's interpretation of entry 
rules for foreign pleasure vessels demonstrates that these are fallable 
people interpreting the rules and not a monolithic government. They can be 
ignorant, unhappy, onery, and stubborn. At least our form of government 
allows us to complain about poor treatment.

It wasn't that long ago that our Coast Guard was boarding pleasure craft in 
offensive manner and treating crew poorly. Prior to 9/11, the Commandant 
changed their behavior based upon citizen complaints. Now, the few stories 
we hear mention a military approach being taken.
