Here's a weird example for you.
For years (and even a year after 9/11) when we did Newport-Bermuda or any other long distance offshore race to a foreign country, when we brought the boat back we never bothered to clear customs.
Why? Why bother.
Nobody cared.
Obviously because there is now the chance of legal action taken by the federal gov. thats all changed, but if someone is looking to get into this country illegally by ship/boat, its completely possible and nobody would know any better.
