Fighting Pirates with an Ipod

Morning Edition featured a pretty interesting company started by a former British Army Pilot.

Anti-piracy Maritime Security Solutions

They put 3 guards on the deck of your ship who ward off pirates with non lethal means.

The guards, who are all ex royal marines, use barb wire, water cannons, and other devices to deter pirates from targeting their ships. They don’t carry guns.

One of the devices is a standard mp3 player that is hooked up to make a god-awful noise once pirates get within earshot.

I can’t help but think this is how MacGyver would do it.
