At first I thought with the number of people with cellphones on the plane someone would call for help. But then I remembered there are electronic devices which disable cell phones ability to make/receive calls that are readily available and cheap.

An expert would be needed to disable the systems on the missing Malaysia Airlines jet.

There are several wrong statements in this story but this is a fact.

Presumably there are bound manuals onboard that tell you have to disable most anything. In the case of an electrical short/fire in a given system you would need these instructions. With some planning you wouldn’t need to fumble with a four inch think binder, but a single peace of paper with only those exact instructions or you could memorize the fuse panel location, fuse locations, sizes and/or slot numbers.

...its whereabouts would have to be known by someone deeply familiar with the 777.

If someone wants to steal something, they can do the research.

Why are the systems made available to the crew in such a way that they can be disabled? What’s the real world, legitimate reason for crew disabling these systems?

"Pilots rarely, if ever, need to access the circuit breakers, which are reserved for maintenance personnel."

Seems simple enough. Were all maintenance personnel accounted for or is it being covered up?

The ping was turned off over a larger body of water to make the search area huge, then my bet is the plane flew to Islamabad. Malaysian Airlines flies there anyway.
Islamists will load a nuke on it and fly it into Tel Aviv.
Obama obviously could care less about a stolen plane to be used on the Jews. He could, through his Muslim Brotherhood connections, even know about the plan already.
Would Israel shoot down a “lost” passenger jet flying in their direction?
At any rate, it will take a while to get the “bomber” ready.
It probably needs a new paint job.

“The Wall Street Journal said the first loss of the jet’s transponder, which communicates the jet’s position, speed and call sign to air traffic control radar, would require disabling a circuit breaker above and behind an overhead panel.”

Absolute BS.

The transponder has a four position switch. OFF STBY ON ALT or Off Standby On and Altitude. You simply move the switch, located on the center console, to off or standby.

When I read the names of the two pilots, I knew immediately that the Religion of Peace already had control of that plane....

My suggestion: get the email address and cell number of every passenger. Then check for any outgoing messages .
