[Scan-DC] UNIT SPOTLIGHT: Vessel Boarding and Security Team

[Andrew Leyden]

FWIW the Sheriff's office in Calvert County is also trained in  
maritime boarding procedures, one of I think two departments  
nationwide that have that ability.  Given the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear  
Power Plant and the Cove Point gas facility, there is a need for that  
capability around here.

They actually went into action awhile ago to 'seize' control of that  
freighter with a drunk crew that pulled a knife on their pilot.
