On Monday of this week April 28th 2008 the US Gov’t asked for the help of recreational boaters to be on the lookout for suspicious activity on the nation’s water ways. According to the Gov’t there is an actual threat to national security from terrorists potentially using small craft to carry a bomb that can do major damage to a US city or port. They are trying to enact an on the water neighborhood watch with very little enforcement back up – the US Coast Guard already can’t handle all the calls they receive, as noted in the associated press story.

So we want to want to know from you what you think. Answer our easy poll question of the month. Will you be thinking of National Security this summer while on the water or will you be enjoying the experience like you always have?
