The problem is you have enter a port sometimes. Maybe the answer is
a Ma

waters

and turn it in before entering port. Business opportunity.


That's what I was meaning. Have a contract securities comp[any that
boards in the in'tl- Rides shotgun with the host cargo carrier, then
before reaching the destination port, depart the vessel. and wait for
return ship.

The securities craft could float off the coast for quite an extended
period of time just waiting for a hire.

People may say that the project would cost a tremendous amount of
money, but then again. Millions of tribute paid to terrorists costs
far more. Besides- sooner or later (probably sooner) the pirates would
get life figured out and quit.


But when you think about it, what are the odds of "your" ship being
pirated? How many thousands of dollars a load are you going to pay to
protect yourself from something that is almost statistically, not going
to happen?


Same reasoning could be applied to concealed carry, but concealed carry
seems to be working.
