Certification and security are two entirely separate issues. Someone bent on
terrorism is no less dangerous if they are highly skilled at boat operation;
the inverse would seem to be true.
What our government bureautypes are trying to deal with is the fact that
water no longer provides a target buffer; the 'moat mentality' is no longer
sufficient. How is the best way to deal with it? That seems to be what is on
the agenda -- which can be found at the DHS website.
More background on this issue can be found by doing an online search for
"National Small Vessel Security Summit."
Time to buy stock in AIS.
