So who is to say the Malaysians haven’t dropped some phony “black box” to give false pretense to their claim of the plane actually having gone down into the sea? Sending out artificial “pings”. (Tin hat theory, you bet). Batteries would run out and the box never would be found.

Can you imagine the size of that one “box” compared to the area they have designated as their target zone? Like looking for one particular grain of sand on a sandy beach some 500 miles in length.

Why even do that??? Why not just mislead 14 nations into searching for a week for the plane in the South China Sea, then another week in the Malaca Straits all the while denying that it was diverted -- Ohh Yeh they already did that.

Sending out artificial “pings”.

artificial pings right along the 811 Inmarsat arc that spanked them silly -- they're dumb but not that dumb.

ok, let's think this thru. As soon as the Inmarsat Arc is released, off somebody goes in a speedboat and drops a dummy. Wait, they can't take a speedboat because it's a 3200 mile trip from shore - in high seas. They won't have the room for all the gas they'll need for the trip. So they need a much larger, much slower vessel. One that needs a larger crew of skilled sailors, some of which may be likely to talk about their midnight cruise. Their larger ship could easily be spotted on satellite photos and by other marine traffic. And Indonesian radar. But off they go. Wait - they need a black box that has the same serial numbers of the MH370 box. Ok, they get that somehow and they're ready to sail.

Now they need the gps of the Inmarsat Arc exactly - 50 miles each way won't do. And gps satellites track who pings in. But let's say they dodge all that, they have a gps with pinpoint accuracy, and plop, off the side goes a dummy. Oh wait, one more thing - the dummy box has to start pinging before they leave shore, in order for the battery life of the dummy to match into the expected 30 day battery life time slot. But those pings have to be hidden - how are they going to do that? ok, they put the black box with the forged serial number in a faraday cage until they get to the location, and plop. Wait, they have to wipe off all the DNA and prints. Ok, done, plop.

There are too many loose ends and variables to the 'planted black box' theory - it's has no signs of a clean operation and there are high risks of discovery, therefore it's highly improbable.
