I hate pirates!

I see in the news there is another pirate attack off the coast of Somalia. This nonsense has been going on long enough! These outlaws have been hijacking and hostage taking for years.

The pirates just drive up to the cargo vessel in their little speedboats, throw up a grappling hook and climb aboard.
One question... why don't the ship's crewmembers just drop an Acme safe down on their A**es?
Here's a neat news article from a few months ago. A lot of good photos here:

I understand that the last ship hijacked was American flagged and has an American crew, in international waters. The closest U.S. Navy ship is a day away. Isn't this why we have jet fighters?

Where's XE? (Blackwater)

It was not too long ago XE (aka Blackwater) started a Maritime Division. I can promise you if they get contracted those piece of garbage dingys that the wack job pirates use will be turned into debris!

4 Marines 2 Barrett 50 cals. 2 spotters and two shooters, One pair up front, and one pair out back. Problem solved.
