Somali pirates hijack Saudi oil tanker

It is said the waters are too vast to fill with armed boats, yet we can't arm the freighters themselves because of varying national laws when they go to port. It is said that an international response is needed. I propose that an international agreement to arm the freighters, i.e. to craft laws allowing an international team of commandos on each boat, to be sanctioned as "okay" to enter port.

Of course, next thing you know, an imposter boat defense team will compromise some nation's border defense.
