[QUOTE="drewed, post: 517815, member: 13615"] The fear is escalation, a lot of private firms are putting armed guards on vessel, but lets say at most 2 for a boat thats a couple hundred feet long, theyll carry M16s or some sort of small caliber MP and the pirates start off with AKs and RPGs so whats next? The pirates move up to larger weapons, strapping explosives in the boat add more boarders so the firms put more guards on.....So the proper thing to do in the situation would be let the world goverments handle this, there are dozens of ships in the western Indian ocean to deal with these problems, I am not by any means saying boardings wont happen but the gov'ts are way more equipped to handle it [/QUOTE]
