Plane search vs spending the money combatting world hunger and disease

[monster]

mmm. that kinda helps. It's just the whole "we'll search until hell freezes over" thing. I see that the battery from the black box signal will die on Monday. I didn't realize it was still running. But after that, there really is no hurry. And the evidence of signals turned off and change of flight path suggest human involvement. Which is more tricky to prevent without first hand accounts from witnesses. Oh well, it is what it is.
