Your Say

They got nuthin' and don't want to admit it.

How is it possible for them to know all of my emails and phone calls and my personal where abouts while carrying said phone but not know where an enormously regulated, quarter million pound, 250 foot long piece of metal is?

If you can *lose* a flying bomb with a couple hundred people on it, then you shouldn't be allowed to have anything to do with such things.

Most of the world is NOT covered by ATC radar. People learn 100% of their aviation info from movies and TV shows where airliners have ejection seats and pushing a button on the side of a wristwatch turns it into a helicopter. Don't blame the ATC, or others for not living up to the movie/TV fantasy world. In fact, this is just one MORE reason to avoid TV/movies like their are mind poison. They are. TV is about pictures, movies are about emotions. Their resemblance to real life is just an accident.

Your DMV doesn't know where every car is all of the time. It's a heck of a lot easier to collect phone and email info from people who's business is to collect and forward phone/email than to know where every car or airplane or bad guy is located. There is no technological fix if a pilot goes rogue. You, or the driver of a passenger bus, semi-truck, railroad locomotive can use their vehicle for evil means.

Satellites can see very small things or they can see very wideareas. But they don't see very small things over a very wide area, despite what the tin-foil hat crowd believes.

This is taking on a decidedly Nessie or Sasquatch tone.

I guess some folks are fixated on TV and movies.
Unfortunately I can't grasp that mindset as I've never been drawn to such things. To each his own.

It doesn't look like MH370 was lost. It looks like one or more pilots acted to hide it using his knowledge of what aircraft systems can and can't do and gaps in radar.

Also, look back to Sept 11. Once the aircraft turned off their transponders they all but disappeared while they were in areas well-covered by ATC radar. The worldwide aviation system simply was never designed to approach anything like a wartime surveillance. Look at what the military does to achieve surveillance during wartime, when the other side isn't cooperating with radar techniques. They have to put up AWACs and Integrated air defense systems, with point radar defenses.

Applying the NSA's data-mining capability toward a search for a missing airliner is like confusing a radiologist's detection of a tumor the size of a Tic-Tac in a patient that shows up for exam and the US not finding Bin Laden for so many years after Sept 11. The association of certified radiolologists are not actively tracking all people with enough precision to find anything anyone has ever lost. The airliners, like medical patients, have to cooperate in the process to get the precision the system needs to work well.

This is how conspiracies are created. Someone somewhere knows some unconnected data, makes some wild leaps, and then slips into a hall of mirrors that can never be disproved because we don't have total metaphysically certain knowledge about every thing and every person. All we need to make this story better is to find someone on that aircraft either worked for Goldman-Sachs or belonged to Skull & Bones. Let me be the first to announce The Burger-Builders did it and Alex Jones is on the case.

It's possible, I guess, to stick your head so far up the horses ass that you fail to smell the shit.

It's possible, I guess, to smell the horse manure everywhere and never notice you've stepped in something and the smell is following you around, not you discovering there is a horse at every event. Once you start into the conspiracy world it poisons every interpretation, warranted or not. It has the added benefit of explaining everything, even things that haven't happened.
