Here's an idea... SHUT THE MEDIA UP! I agree, that if I were a captain of a boat, my entire crew would be armed. Not standing watch armed.. but they'd be armed. You see someone come over the side of the boat, shoot them. As they keep coming, you keep shooting. Save the last one that comes over so he can throw the dead bodies of his "friends" overboard. The idea of barricading themselves in a cabin is eventually going to get old and the pirates will find a way to get into that cabin and still kill everyone. But as long as we allow the media to continue to publish every single move, tactic, and detail about situations, the pirates will continue to win.
