fellhand no because there are tools to help u in protecting youre ore - those tools are join a corp that mines that space - and have someone hauling anything from jetcans.
It requires co operation and joining a corp but most often they will do large mining ops in high sec and split the minerals in a evenhanded way.
That is the way u will avoid ore theives going it solo raises the risks its that simple.
So suggestion use the tools available to u and move on.

There is no reason to petition if extortion was an exploit then everyone would petition pirate corps blackmailing small corps into giving them weekly ISK payments to avoid shooting them esp in aridia.
Its NOT an exploit its a valid occupation and role within the game world the way to avoid it...
JOIN A HIGH SEC MINING CORP AND DO CORP MINING OPS SPLIT THE MINERALS (MOST MINING CORPS USE MINING BARGES) SO INTAKES ARE LARGER.
this game requires co op in some parts the other option is afk mining with a industrial ship and a 1x mining 2 laser in high sec 0.8 and up and or the other option use youre mining char and an alt hauling a hauler u will need 2 PCs to do this. That can work.

extortion rackets are common in eve its only successful if u allow them to operate by paying them - ignore them join a high sec mining corp and then they part 1 or 2 haulers right near the jet can while others mine in gruop ops - the ore theives cant get at the cans in any great amount of m3 ore wise because the haulers should be pulling it inot their cargo holds straight away - hence lessened ore theifing and hence those extortion rackets dont work.

there are ways around these high sec ore theives in easy terms the joining of a mining corp - having an alt hauler present and other common sense ideas are the tools CCP provide us with dealing with it. The same thing plays in aridia with LEGION-LOOT and MAFIA extorting all the local small corps with 20M a week payment requests. This is more widesparead but the idea remains - corps are now fighting back so therefore their tactics dont work.

well we have suggested mega giant sec cans ie 10k m3.
But the real way around it is fellhand find a mining corp in high sec space join em - co op with em help em with hauling and mining and they usually split the minerals or take a 10% -20% cut on the mineral or ISK take.
But extortion as such weather it be 13 year old ore theives or large organised pirate corps is a valid part of the game. Hence there is no way around it unless we get criminal flagging of jetcans. Which isnt happening yet .... coming soon (TM)

u should also be aware most of the alliances have empire mining divisions they pay good rates and offer protection for their mienrs. Perhaps you should consider that.

take ESE (FIX corp member) for example they have a empire mining devision - those members that just mine high sec belts in an undisclosed system to supply the 0.0 crew with minerals to build their ships etc they also pay just below market rates for minerals mined by members. If u have a mining barge its easy money and with corps now building freighters to haul minerals those empire mining corps roles will increase in importance.
