Be careful about saying bad things about coasties. My best man at my wedding was a coastie. If you say bad things about coasties around here, you may as well forget ever boarding a plane or purchasing a weapon.
I know there are some coasties around Spokane.
Homeland security agents sometimes do not have a sense a humor.
The ones I see escorting the ferries are manning 50 caliber machine guns. Undercover coasties are quick to draw their weapons on the ferry. Expect to spend lots of hours explaining yourself at the Coast Guard detention center.
