New theory on #MalaysiaAirlines flight #MH370 what if someone spoofed its location?

We all are used to using GPS now and presume the system is foolproof. The fact is, satellite and radar signals can be "spoofed".

"Spoofed" means GPS and/or radar signals telling the plane's guidance systems it's in one place when in fact it's elsewhere. This might explain the unusual route the plane took early on.

No one yet has asked if a plane's guidance systems can be tricked into thinking it's one place when in fact it's elsewhere. It is theoretically possible.

So is this why authorities are vague on the plane's whereabouts? Are they trying to determine if someone spoofed the plane's location?
