Scary Thoughts

Some What-Ifs regarding MH370...

What if a certain (extremely violent) religious faction with a bunch of money wanted a jumbo jet... Something with long range and significant cargo capacity.

A faction that could afford to buy off a pilot and copilot for several million bucks? Disappear forever money. A group that could co-opt an airstrip in a third or fourth-world shithole on the dirty end of Southeast Asia to hide said jumbo until they are ready to move...

Said faction could probably easily put their hands on the requisite gallons of fuel to fly that jumbo pretty much anywhere they want... And load the plane with 55 gallon drums of accelerant.

And the people that were on it? That particular faction doesn't, as a rule, have any problem with up-close mass murder to further their cause. Just adds to their terror quotient...

Could said jumbo jet be flown from the aforementioned shithole 'under the radar' to a meaningful target without detection?

I hate to be paranoid, but I don't think I'd want to be in/near a high-value target until they get everything sorted out.
But that's just me.
Your mileage might vary...
