Now Somali pirates have seized an Saudi oil tanker. The Navy says the area is too big to police effectively. Doesn't that give you real confidence in our Navy's ability to protect the US coastline from terrorist attacks? Why is all this high tech equipment we pay for ineffective in stopping a few pirates in wooden boats?

Also, if they can't cover the area effectively, why not convoy groups of ships through the area as in WW2, instead of letting them run alone?
