Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370: The Theories

[doodab]

Just like to remind you this is a "theory" thread, so theories are allowed.

So swivel.

My theory is the cloaking device was disguised as a travel chess set. Did you know every travel chess set comes with two queens with little magnets in their bottoms?

[SueEllen]

Oh that reminds me - I've run out of tinfoil. Anyone need anything from Asda?

Do they sell Buckfast in Asda?

[ctdctd]

Ah.

Cloaking tech.

That means there's Klingons around here somewhere.

On the starboard bow?

P.S. You were the star of Star Trek on CBS Action yesterday - you were glorious in your youth!

[Zippy]

Too late, I've been. Picked up a cheeky little red - will that do?

[Ticktock]

Ah. Thunderbird?

Ah.

Cloaking tech.

That means there's Zargoids around here somewhere.

FTFY

Why transponders on such aircraft is even switchable off? It's an obvious hijack target so such devices should not be possible to turn off unless plane is on the ground and even so it should not take off if device isn't working.

But then governments wouldn't be able to steal them when they want to, every system has to have a backdoor

I read somewhere they have to turn them off at the airports, or there are too many planes all sending signals. They switch them on once they're up and away.

Why can't they turn on when aircraft is in the air? It's crazy to have them switchable off in the air which is the time when hijack can be made.
