I read police have searched the house of the Malaysian Airlines captain in their hunt for the missing plane...

I'm no expert, but I doubt it's there.

Time to install Low-jack systems on the fleet?

I can't believe the NSA didn't spot this coming.

Remember, those arcs described by the SATCOM pings aren't tracks, they're the range of possible positions the aircraft could have been in at one particular moment.

Given the heavy radar environment in China and Afghanistan, I think the aircraft was headed south.

I'm not comfortable making any supposition as to what was going on inside it.

more possible reports of debris, now off Australia. What are the chances of this being another false alarm?

I say none. I say it's in the water and at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. If it had made dry land, someone somewhere would have more than likely seen it. There's too many people in that part of the world not to have seen it make landfall.

Now if no one did see it and it did make landfall, it's covered with camouflage of some sort so no one will see it. Tho I do hope that I am wrong and it landed with all souls onboard alive and well.

Saw some debis floating down the river near me.
Through the Beer goggles it looked like a part off a 777.
Or maybe a Chevette floating away?

LOL. More likely to be containers off a ship in that area of ocean.

Interesting that with all the tech in the world we're reliant on the mk1 eyeball for most of this search.

A good layperson description of ACARS the transponder and black box signalling that's been used to determine the likely search locations of the missing jet. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-03-1...ponder/5331124
