piracy
I think TR’s solution would work fine, and very thoroughly, but it has not yet happened and might not ever. Maybe one problem is that no flag nation allows its vessels the opportunity to arm its crew. And the cost of armed contractors is prohibitive to most bottom-line-minded companies. The government of India is very restrictive in allowing guns to its citizens and even police, and maybe the recent tragedy there could have been ended more quickly and with less loss of life if more freedom existed there. The liability issues is a good point too, it seems that everything is way too complicated for the development of a viable solution to form. Perhaps this battle will not be fought on the high seas, but between the binds of thousand page documents.
