Michael,
All very interesting, informative and, possibly, even technically close to the mark.
However, what your rant fails to do is to differentiate between what is technically POSSIBLE and what is practically DOABLE.
If you need any persuasion on this, consider the case of the missing sailor earlier this year who sailed out the Golden Gate Bridge for an afternoon and....was never heard from again.
He was a very experienced sailor on a very seaworthy vessel, sailing in good conditions. More to the point, he was a super-techie, a god-like figure in the Silicon Valley tech businesses. His friends and family pulled out all the stops to locate him. They used satellite imagery. So did the USG. They searched for weeks. Nothin'. How could this be? No indication of his track (which, in theory, could have been ascertained from historical imagery analysis). No debris field. No abandoned vessel. No lifejackets or cushions. No EPIRB alert. No nothin'.
Is your point that the government surely knows something, and is just hiding it from us? If so, I think your next stop after you djalan-djalan from Malaysia maybe ought to be Roswell, NM :-)
