I am not customarily in the business of giving advice to pirates. They have their interests, I have mine, and rarely the twain doth meet. Nonetheless, I would strongly discourage the Somali pirates from extending their trade to passenger liners. Low-intensity attacks on merchant ships are one thing. Menacing — or to use a variation on the word that will inevitably be used soon enough, terrorizing — civilians is a pretty damned certain path to drawing the interest of military forces you’d as soon not engage.
