Malaysia Flight 370 - Troubling Questions
Hi all,
The news on flight 370 got more interesting today. It appears the plane flew for several hours after dropping off radar. This begs a few questions. Why, in this day in the security age, is it possible to turn of the transponders in flight? Why don't all airplanes have GPS tracking systems giving real time data to ATC (perhaps we could loan them a SPOT)? It appears some data was sent to Rolls Royce about the condition of the engines. Why did it take so long for them to provide this data? I am sure there are more questions. But I'm also pretty sure that giving full cavity searches at the airport does not appear to be addressing critical security issues that have simple, one time fixes. Thoughts? 2C
