Bringing back Captain Kidd's gibbet might be a good deterrent here; Any act whereby the course way-path or intended route is thwarted, obviated or altered by a criminal act is just plain piracy! Literally, on the 400+ passenger S.F. ferry jet-cat on two occasions as an armed commuting off-duty passenger, I have been summoned to the bridge to deal with the captain's sudden security needs: one a stranded boater in distress and the other an extremely unruly demented passenger. I have extremely little tolerance for any and all interference of this nature aboard a commercial transport vessel where disruption causes panic and can lead to catastrophic loss of life.
