Oh well. It's a moot point now.
Chips are not protectible once they exist. The chip itself is pretty much a blue print of how it was done. Protection is all based on laws...not secrecy.

I wonder if they'll mention the plane Vietnam asked to check on MH370 when it was still on course. Did anyone ever interview the pilot of that plane, or get a report from him? He was the last person to see the MH370 pilot alive.

I hope someone in Homeland Security watched it, and Nova is prohibited from putting that up on youtube.

Time for a reality check concerning this aircraft.
First let's look at what is known .
The plane cruising along just fine, then suddenly no trace.
Communication with the craft either shut down, or disabled.
Searches have not found one trace of the aircraft in the 6 months since this incident occurred.
If the plane went into the ocean (at any speed) it would have broken up and debris would have been located.
None has been found in 6 months.
If the plane remained in tack and descended to the bottom of the ocean, the pressure that deep would have caused the plane to burst.

No evidence of that.
Even if it were on the bottom of the ocean, it would have been molested by sea creatures in search of food, and no evidence of that.
So what are we left with?
The very thing I have said all along, it was an alien abduction, and we will never see that aircraft, or it's passengers again in this life time.
That finding, if even suspected by those in authority, would never be made public.
Could you imagine the panic if a government came out with that finding?
More than likely, this is WHAT happened to the aircraft, but in reality, we will neevr know that was what happened with this flight.

Bob.

In American English it's "Selling sand to the Saudis".

Jay Larsen and his 20-year-old son, Kolter, would normally be in Montana this time of year, carrying on a family hunting tradition while trekking across the high country in search of deer and elk.Instead, the father-son duo is in pursuit of something much bigger, which could affect hundreds of family members searching for answers

Except they really do that as Saudi sand is not very suitable for concrete.

We also say, "coals to Newcastle" sometimes, though most Americans don't know what it means literally, what "Newcastle" is.
