I have contacted the few maritime security companies I could find to get further input, but they seem to be stuck in antiquated thinking. There seems to be a real opportunity to develop an organically formed solution to this problem. A chance exists to allow freedom to triumph over oppression on the global state—swiftly and effectively.
Your spelling sucks and so does your analysis. Unless you have a background in naval warfare or maritime law not apparent from your profile, I suggest that you post a lot less here on topics on which you have no expertise.
