Rivrguy:

That read was both excruciating and fascinating at the same time. I can imagine a few ramifications associated with this decision, but I'm curious to know which possibilities in particular are most alarming to you. Are you thinking this could eventually establish a Fourth Amendment basis for making it illegal for enforcement officers to board commercial vessels for regulatory inspections? Perhaps that, once on land, commercial fishers will no longer be subject to searches by enforcement, even where just cause (suspicion) exists?

I'm just finishing my morning coffee, so I need even more help than usual....
