That makes a hell of a lot of sense. Nasa can track every bit of debris in the upper atmosphere larger than a baseball and we actually lose track of a plane that's constantly broadcasting unencrypted time and position data? Especially with US naval resources (The 7th Fleet) not that far away. Edit to include that my geography professor held a discussion about this the other day, and when a classmate brought up the fact that the Malaysian, Australian or US governments might not be releasing information in the interest of national security, she was ridiculed. This bothers me because we know that our government has censored/classified/falsified important information in the past, but anyone who assumes that they would do so now is considered a loon. Just remember, Alex Jones was talking about the NSA reading everybody's emails/texts, listening to everyone's phone calls a long time ago and was called crazy. Turns out they are ACTUALLY DOING THAT AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS.
