"Scaring the pirates off" What a joke. Little speedboats out in the ocean are deployed from larger vessels. Once "scared off" these little boats should be followed at a distance by helicopter, or better yet, UAV until they meet up with the larger pirate vessel. Then one well placed munition, fired remotely from the UAV, would end the problem. Scaring them away just means they will be back, again and again. Namby pamby BS. RT
