The Feds don't trust civilians enough to allow them into Fed turf. Guess again...check out the US Coast Guard Auxiliary...also a division of the Department of Homeland Security. This is a turf war going on...one that Bonner needs to win. And I'm pretty sure the article is either missing or misstating the facts...Bonner was making his statements again today in LA, where the article made front page news.

I would agree. The Coast Guard values the contribution of its Auxiliarists very much. I have been welcomed wherever I serve and I'm proud to do it.
I don't see a problem with a BP auxiliary, but I suspect the opposition is from cops who don't like auxiliarists; they tend to get the less-dangerous jobs while the cops feel they get the shaft.
