I just don't know what to say or think anymore.

Malaysian investigators are trawling through the backgrounds of the pilots, crew and ground staff who worked on a missing jetliner for clues as to why someone on board flew it perhaps thousands of miles off course, the country's police chief said.

Meanwhile, the British Sunday Telegraph reported that Saajid Muhammad Badat, a British-born al-Qaida informant, told authorities in court last week that he was aware of a long-standing plot by a group of Malaysians — one of whom reportedly was a pilot — to hijack an airliner.

Badat said he once supplied the cell with a shoe bomb and that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, now being held in Guantánamo, was the plot's original organizer.

Security experts told the Telegraph that the evidence was “credible”. Badat, who is in hiding, said that he had met the Malaysian jihadists – one of whom was a pilot – in Afghanistan and given them a shoe bomb to use to take control of an aircraft

Now, who wants to tell me that a F-16 wouldn't pick this plane up on its radar.

One of the obvious things to keep in mind when eliminating theories is if there was a struggle of any kind, the pilot(s) would have the know-how to send a distress signal or switch on the transponder or send a mayday. The fact that none of this was done really eliminates the idea that someone broke into the cockpit. Also, if this was executed as well as it seems, it seems unlikely that there would be a complete lack of foresight and the people in control would take it way out to sea just to crash. If crashing the plane was the point, it woulda been done earlier. If the plane was hijacked, there would be a struggle and pilots woulda sent some sort of signal. That leads me to the most likely idea that this WAS well thought out, with great foresight, and they had a plan for what they were going to do with the plane and/or passengers. That plan would most likely include DOING SOMETHING with the plane and/or passengers/cargo other than destroying it all way out in the middle of the ocean. They could be one step ahead of everyone this whole time.
