"I swiftly grabbed it and thru it over-board. I reached in my wallet and gave the guy a $100 bill, ..."
Well I tell ya, that was a lot more civilized than what I would be doing if I caught someone in US waters bringing ANYTHING that could get me on the wrong side of the Law aboard any vessel that I am in charge of. (Canada is a little different but I'd still ask you to put it away and never to bring it again!)
And not because I'm a prude, I have burned my fair share of braincells in the seventies, but because of the sheer, blatant lack of respect such a thing represents toward the vessel and her owners...
