I saw this program as well, what was scary was the stats on just how often foriegn tour boats, small yahts & private cruise ships are boarded & the occupants of such vessels pillaged, kiddnapped or even killed! I think it was like 1 in every 7 in some places!
The trouble is, once your international waters, your literally a sitting duck.., your on your own, you cant have armed protection & your stuck in a vessel, normally far from shore & that cant outrun the bad guys fast attack boats. Its has all the elements of a swat team (speed, surprise & violence of action) but its in a reversed objective. I for one would never put my family on a private cruise boat not within U.S. waters.
