The poster said bet no border security for those arriving by sea which is a poor assumption. Indonesia has immigration at the ports where ferries from overseas enter. As for boats between islands, are you suggesting that this is all about Bali? Remember java has far more terrorist attacks. When we travel around the islands my Indonesian husband has his ID checked more than mine. When he owned a tourist boat in Lombok authorities were actively checking with boat owners for anyone chartering boats between the islands, so you may be surprised at how closely some movements are actually monitored.
