#1 The maritime border between the two Koreas is not clearly marked...

Um...What are they supposed to use to mark a water boundary? A line of inflatable ducks lassoed together?

#2 bet the NK spy boats have a really good idea where the boundary is

#3 594 feet is getting a bit exact on the high seas. Do both sides take advantage of GPS? Are the SKors equipping the NKORS with under-the-table GPS units now or the NORKS up on high precision celestial shots? /sarcasm

#4 Alaska Paul - Civilian GPS units are available world wide, including the heavy-duty industrial models used by oil & mineral exploration companies. Would you be willing to bet cash money that the NorK's are NOT getting some supplied to them under the table in return for missile and nuke sales?

I wouldn't bet that, I'd be throwing my money away.

#5 North Korean "fishing" boats must be as common as North Korean ice cream trucks. I doubt they catch much fish.
