Well, originaly i said, "comparatively inexpensive." Compared to convoys and naval patrols, it is the least expensive option.

I am just trying to point out that the problem is not as silly solved as it may seem and in fact many of the non lethal methods have actually proven highly effective so they are not a waste of money in fact they are often cheaper because the regular crew can often employ them.

The world never is a simple place, and living within it is never without its risks. In terms of international law, i think it better to be judged by a court, then being held captive in somalia or dead. As non lethal goes, I am not a fan. I view it as some bleeding heart BS because someone is afraid they might hurt some scumbag even though their being attacked.
To the point,
regardless of motive, someone attacking you with weaponry as somali pirates do, I view a matter of life or death. You have two options, defend yourself to the utmost of your ability or die. Being captured and subjected to the hands of some somali warlord is not even an option to me.
