That's why piracy, if it exists at all IYTU, almost certainly doesn't happen near major worlds. There's a reason modern piracy happens off the coast of Somalia rather than just outside Long Beach harbor. :)

Well, I’m sure modern piracy still happens at Long Beach, it’s just occurring on the asphalt seas on the other side of the water…. I was rewatching the 2nd season of 'The Wire’ recently (the freight docks season)…lots of good ideas of how chicanery happens in the modern world!
