The fence uses 9,000-volt pulse to deter boarding attempts....

Hmm, I wonder how much this would cost to modify and string up along the Mexico/US border?

Saling to the Carribean? Be armed, travel in fleet with other boats, and stay safe. These pirates are real.

Arrr. I'd be interested in seeing a correlation between Piratical activity and proximity to a Muslim nation. There be a long history of Musselmen pirates, dating back to the Corsairs and Barbary pirates.

I'm in Texas. We do have Muslims but most of the pirates that climb on board our state's "ship" and steal ate Mexicans.

Yep, most pirates in Texas are Mexicans.

Powder..Patch..Ball FIRE!

A special ops team with night vision and ATT's on a decoy ship could clean a nest of these buggers out in short order.

Oh, better far to live and die
   Under the brave black flag I fly,
Than play a sanctimonious part
   With a pirate head and a pirate heart.
Away to the cheating world go you,
   Where pirates all are well-to-do;
But I'll be true to the song I sing,
   And live and die a Pirate King.
For I am a Pirate King!
   Hurrah for the Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
   To be a Pirate King!
Hurrah!
   Hurrah for the Pirate King!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!
