Every time the Coast Guard, Navy or some other governmental agency stops, searches and seizes a vessel carrying drugs off the U.S. coast, they hold a very public televised press conference on the dock to display the contraband. They don't blow up drug boats and destroy the evidence, and they sure don't kill survivors clinging to floating wreckage.
