Do you have ANY idea of how many miles of coastline there are in the US...??? And you think there should be more than one person every so many hundred miles???? What if we had, and could afford, a person every mile? How would that help? It's better by far to have drone intel along the coast lines....to say nothing of military air intel....

What we really need is more surveillance on the cargo containers that come into our ports, and the ports themselves.

A glance at the shoreline of Puget Sound, which is mostly bordered with deep fir forest, will show it is impossible to stop entry by manning the shoreline with people, and overflights would see little in that area.

A sub could enter at night and not be visible.

Government should monitor vessels approaching the sea shores and ports, people should report strangers in town.

If you can see another way, I'd like to hear it.
