Doing a Capt. Bonehead test is all well and good, but it also has some shades of "let's see if we can get this guy".

I've seen this a lot too, and don't believe it is appropriate. They are not only trying to entrap, but they are being discourteous. There is enough of that going on without our MP joining in. They should be setting a good example of proper boating manners.
