From the couple of posts and replies I read, I see that some corp has a problem with CFS either with their philosophies or actions, so I'll just share what little I know from my experiences.
It's not Khandid they protect, but rather JK-FIX that is right below it. Gehi is the main system (nearest station) for JK-FIX and it just so happens to be next to the choke point for JK-FIX as well (also in Khandid I think). So it's no surprise that many corps out mining base their operations from Gehi IX station (or was it XI?)
I've been there twice, once was before the CFS was formed. There were a lot of people in battleships in the area, everyone was really friendly to each other, but there WERE pirates occationally coming to Gehi since it is a heavily trafficed system.
Second time was a month or so later. Went down to hunt some rats and look for specific loot. No change here, except many CFS people were guarding gates to and from the popular hunting/mining systems. I mistakenly saw an arma at the gate and assumed he was friendly since many there were, without checking info first. Just so happens he was neg SS and took a few pot shots at me before jumping through.
A few systems back en route I recieved a warning from 3 separate people. It contained a short list of sighted pkers, I told one of them where I saw the arma at.. they thanked me, and an hour informed me he was "neutralized".
I also got a 2 bs escort back to gehi for repairs after my thorax was shot up to 1% structure by npcs (my first juggie, heh). Whilst docked, tekforce from m0o showed up and docked. I was worried, but then within 10 minutes 60 people showed up in local.
I undocked to use my repair modules and saw 20 bships camping station, and after repairs i packed my things to leave.. another 15 at the gate. Tekforce played possum for a looong while.
Those are all my experiences with CFS so far, and I can totally understand their situation. There is a similar "coalition" in cloud ring that hunts down pkers and in syndicate/solitude.
