NYCkayaker Coast Guard and New York Port Security

[William]

Oh this is just great. LEt's just make the whole NY

entering and leaving to pay for all this.... this is
what happens when people become fixated on a job
positions. ... all justified by government in the name
of "this is for your own good"
