IANAAL, but I'm guessing the U.S. would just pressure your flag state to revoke your license. Then they'll arrest you for piracy or something. Or even better

- lmm 13y agoWhy bring in privateers? They'd complicate it, and mean reneging on public commitments. Just label the boat as terrorist and send the Navy or Coast Guard.
- defen 13y agoBy "better" I just meant it would be "cooler", in the sense of invoking old, rarely used provisions of the Constitution. But you're right, Navy/Coast Guard would be much more effective.
