US subs REGULARLY will hide themselves off the coasts of different nations, with ELINT gear out and sniffing. These would cause an international incident if we got caught, but we don't. And it's not just Third World nations either...

Well, russian subs do that too, so it is nothing special, my friend has actually listened one russian sub via hydrofone network.
It's actually very usual for nations to test each other's defensive capabilities.
And it does'not usually cause much of international incident.

In Oct. 2002 for example there was an incident where a wrongly designated USAF KC-10 entered Austrian airspace. Because of irregularities in the registration two interceptors took off for visual clarification.

What has the picture got to do with the incident ? It shows 2 F-117's not Austrian interceptors.
