>> Do you have ANY idea of how many miles of coastline there are in the US...???

I have a rough idea. Do you want to do a comparative cost study between hiring more coast guard and patrolmen and the war in Iraq? At least hiring more coast guard will improve the economy at home.

>> And you think there should be more than one person every so many hundred miles????

You can slice it any way you want. Having a single person for hundreds of miles and having no 911 service is a disgrace.

>> It's better by far to have drone intel along the coast lines....to say nothing of military air intel....

Yes that is an important piece of the solution. But what do want to do with the air intel? You still need real people on the coastline to do the work.
