    Re: pilot of missing plane under srutiny due to support of someone charged with sodom

    I can't understand how the radios and such can even be turned off on a commercial plane. There should be no way to lose track of them. Even if they are turned off, how did it disappear from radar? Is there not sufficient radar coverage in that part of the world? They didn't suddenly turn it into a stealth plane.

    So now I guess they need to install multiple self-powered transponders on the exterior of the plane which are immune to any interference from inside or outside the plane. This is the most bizarre situation. I feel so bad for all the family and friends who don't know what happened to their loved ones.

    I've heard that you don't want transponders on after landing, so they have an off switch. Although it does seem there should be some way to have it be automatic or only controlled remotely or something.

    Wait. So one of the pilot's friends was sentenced to five years for Sodomy, in this backwards Islamic nation, and thus, the pilot crashes a plane into the sea? It doesn't add up. (Aside from the fact that almost any sensibe, peaceful person would oppose the rigid regime there.)
