If the Black water (XE ?) guys will take the massive paycut from being US taxpayer subsidized bodyguards to standing guard on ships. They'll be paid deckhand base rate. Shippers are as cheap as retail chains.We could make those shippers pay the US tribute. Collect 'protection' money from them, only board and collect from every ship, not just a few slow weakly defended ships, here and there. That might be a way to pay down our national debt.
Or they could be held responsible to pay for their own private security. I hear there are some highly qualified blackwater folks who will be looking for employment soon. And, they have a tendency to shoot first and ask questions later, which is precisely what is needed here. They also have first rate equipment and training.
I smell a movie.......Magniifcent Seven redone on the high seas......7 Blackwater guards, expert hired guns, laid off.....now working for peanuts, hired by merchant marine to fight off the desperate pirates.....throw in some sappy love scenes, a few good shootouts. And a sequel, if we can make the piracy last a few more years.
