What is the attitude / political position of the CS with regards to Glitter Boys (independent)?

Glitter Boys a human.

They have a reputation as defenders of humanity throughout the Dark Ages.
As pilots of their famous Glitter Boy armor (the weapon of the greatest heroes in North America) they were the one force that could dare challenge invaders, monsters and magic-spawned menaces.

So, if and when, a Glitter Boy armor walks into a CS town or Chi-Town Burbs how do the CS react?

Shoot them?
Arrest them?
Salute them?
Try to steal their power armor?

What keeps anyone from stealing Glitter Boy armor anyway?

The pilot has to step out and eat, sleep and use the bathroom some day.

all of the above and maybe draft the poor sod.

I'd have to look up in the books, but IIRC Chi-Town & the other cities have strict rules about "walking into town" while wearing visible weapons & PA suits, so they would probably demand that the GB pilot step out & present some ID -- IIRC, you need official CS citizenship, or at least a special access pass, to actually enter one of the cities. The 'Burbs might be a different matter, but even then I would imagine the CS patrols would keep a closer eye on a GB walking through the 'Burbs than someone who's only wearing body armor.

Now...if someone's ID comes back as being "wanted for crimes against the Coalition", or if there's some sort of distinctive insignia on the GB that identifies them as such...yeah, they'll do "shoot first, shoot again, then interrogate the ashes" on it.
