the increasing frequency and success of pirate attacks

This useful diagram from the BBC
International trade is shaking in fear over a wave of recent pirate attacks on shipping lanes off the coast of Somalia. However these attacks are just a pin prick in the side of the corporates who are pushing products around the world in some 40,000 ships that are at sea today. I suspect that is perhaps the cost of insurance for the goods being transported rather than the risk to human life that the big boys are scared of.
It is clear however, that laws are going to change, pirates are going to get a hard time in the coming months, but what are they going to do about us?

And whilst the last late coming wave of rucksacked white kids are spreading the word about McNulty, Omar, Stringer Bell et al on the corners of South East London. We get one final post season five re-up with this....
