Ok, not likely but I was thinking if I would be willing to sacrifice my life or a few others to catch these pirates. I would consider having certain weapons and protocols in place that would enable us to look helpless, while gathering intelligence on the culprits.

Possible to not only hide the intelligence software needed, but extra men, weapons or robotics. Of course, you would have to do it in a covert way...so that leaves the company name and merchandise out. Anyway, just thinking out loud. I hope that everything resolves in a safe and efficient manner for all involved.
