    Wow, that's really interesting. I never would have thought about the possibility of pirates, much less trying to defend yourself against them. 150db smoke alarm - ouch! :eek:

    The AHoles probably didn't get 100 miles out to sea in inflatables without support from something that would show-up on radar. I'd have loved to see them meeting up with the mother ship, shaking their heads and rubbing their ears, just as an A-10 Warthog came in low with these:
