Full story

It was only a matter of time. Find a problem that requires a gun to fix, and someone will provide the gun.

Have gun, will travel... the American way :D
This is good. I also saw the type of vessel Black water is using. Giving the size of the area the pirates are attacking BW should charter or buy two vessels that way they would minimize the time to target when pirates hit. Cool idea they would also fall into the salvage law with the third party liability and or general average insurance companies and should be able to claim monies each time a vessel is saved. As a non-government agency they should be able to recover some or most of the cost in saving ship and crew.

Interesting venture.
