Somalian pirates now threatening cruise ships 
"The agency cited this week's widely reported pirate attack on the 684-passenger Oceania Nautica, an upscale cruise ship filled with Americans, Canadians and Australians, as a sign of the growing danger." What are the pirates going to do if they hijack a ship with 1000 crew and passengers? Do they have the resources and organization to hold that many people hostage on a single ship? I wonder if that might make governments sit up and take more notice when the "payload" comprises human lives.
