i WILL say that oceanic flights (or flights going over water more than 50 miles or so) should be equipped with a device to send their GPS coordinates via Iridium. that is very cheap to do (they make handheld devices that do this for a few hunded USD).
At least then you'll get the search started in the right area.
As you may have been aware, the US economy has been in a rut. I'm not quite sure how "connected" you folks are out there in them sticks of Colorado.. but Bush decided he needed a new war to boost the economy and get cash flowing again.
The Russians weren't interested.. so we picked a fight with neighboring Canada. As is usual with US military operations lately, we failed.
Your part of the country actually IS Canada now dude. Good luck.. better than living in the States.
I'm the unix admin at Monmouth University (NJ). Almost everyone is infected. We've left everything turned on though put we put up another router to route between ResNet and the rest of the network. (before, we had 1 router campus wide hehe). Anyhow.. the ResRouter is a Cisco RSM/5500 (using multi-layer switching). with an access-list that blocks all ICMP.. checks to make sure your source IP is a valid ResNet IP... and allows 0.0.0.0 as a valid source IP (for DHCP Discovery). 60% load with 1300 students..
I have a linux box on ResNet.. I am going a tcpdump arp > testfile then looking at the top IPs sending ARP packets..
Turning those IPs off at the firewall so only infected students complain. We direct them to http://bluehawk.monmouth.edu/virus we also have Technicians running around with mini-CDs with all the dewormers and patches on them
It'll be interesting to see who pushes for IPv6 with its native encryption. Will ISP's and lawmakers push for this technology which will inevitably come sooner or later?
You fax an authorization form to NSI to get your administrative contact changed. Yet, you never hear back from NSI?
You send an email inquiring as to whether or not they even received the fax, yet you never receive a reply?
You attempt to call NSI to speak with a human, yet you receive a recording. Not the usual recording, but rather a recording telling you all Cust. Reps are busy, and to call back tomorrow between 7 and 9 am... WTF
I'm a sysadmin on Monmouth University (NJ). We've blocked Napster here in a futile attempt to alleviate internet congestion. We have a singleT1 with C&W which is saturated almost 24x7. However, this was a stab in the dark. I've come to find out that approximately 99.07% of our traffic is due to [adult] streaming live-video into our dorms. This is a little more difficult to tackle as there is "academic freedom" -- and looking at nude women qualifies as that.
Anyhow, we're currently in the process of getting two more T1's with C&W. Also, we're getting some heavy duty packet-shaping equipment and several cache engines. We still won't allow Napster though. If somebody complains loud enough, we'll turn Napster back on and then raid their dorm room the morning after for pirated music. Hey, they did it at CMU (was it?)

so big.. and we're only finding it now?

black boxes are almost always recovered. the only thing it would save is a big oceanic search -- how often does that happen?

Has anyone had a similar problem:
