Britney Spears' Music Used To Scare Away Somali Pirates
. "Her songs were chosen by the security team because they thought the pirates would hate them most," Owens said. "These guys can't stand Western culture or music, making Britney's hits perfect." Other tracks proven effective in scaring away Somali pirates from approaching supertankers along the east coast of Africa include Spears' "Baby One More Time" and "Toxic." "It's so effective the ship's security rarely needs to resort to firing guns," Owens added. Steven Jones, of the Security Association for the Maritime Industry, had another pop star suggestion. "Pirates will go to any lengths to avoid or try to overcome the music. I'd imagine using Justin Bieber would be against the Geneva Convention." more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
