One down, many more to go before it’s stopped.

I really don’t understand why the shipping companies don’t have armed guards on the ships as a matter of security! I mean they have millions of dollars of cargo on board and their insurance companies should be insisting on armed guards on board! Kind of reminds me of the jewelry industry in a way. To get insurance in the jewelry industry the insurance companies have enacted deterrent measures that the Jeweler must have in place in order to get a policy. Bars on the front windows, shatter proof glass on the show cases, timed safes, motion sensor alarms, security guard in the lobby and so forth and so on. Why the heck isn’t the shippers insurance company’s insisting on armed security on those ships? This makes no sense to me.
