U.S. maritime academies are reforming their training programs in an effort to combat 21st century pirates in possession of high-powered speedboats and automatic weapons. Jeff Glor reports.
Let me see, what is the difference with the past and now? Umm, you want a list? If you consider a sea captain who fights for a country under their flag and does things like take over ships that contain contraband per maritime law pirates, then, ,,,the Coastguard are pirates. Do you think Piracy is a term made up by news casters?

Get a life, maritime law says that stealing of vessels and their entire cargo is piracy which is WAY MORE than a small burglary or robbery.
They ARE pirates. They are the type of theives who steal your boat and then use it to do major armed robberies at sea. It is like being able to steal the etire stockroom of a Walmart or sometimes a car dealership at one time.
... a hose?
A hose? Seriously?
Does the US specifically want themselves to become a laughing stock?
"Oh, we're the US, we don't defend ourselves because it invalidates other's human rights"
Just shoot the scum, get it over with, stop them hurting others.

@amareto35 the Chinese are largely the ones overfishing other peoples waters. Not that Europeans arent too, but we cant blame whitey for everything.

Bring weapons to defend the ship (like the guy says @ 2:07 "Never give up the ship")
And when countries ask "Do you have weapons, and if you do, you can't have this innocent right of passage" Just say no.
