Or that they would have some kind of eye on everything in the sky.

Or maybe they do, and just haven't released it to the public yet.

Or maybe they do, but haven't released it because shenanigans. #tinfoilhat
They do have high powered imaging satellites that we've seen some imagery from already when the US made their case against Iraq/Afghanistan/North Korea/Iran and the imagery is rumored to be even more capable than what is shown to the public

But obviously they have to aim it at the area to use it which is what I was wondering before, are they willing to use those satellites to search for the airliner? or do they find those resources better utilized where they currently are?

There was also tech showcased last year that the US govt was planning/implementing that would be an 'eye in the sky' that recorded certain regions and if anything ever happened there the govt. could just playback the high resolution video (there was a thread/post in RS about this too I believe)

But I doubt the US had that region under surveillance? or if the tech is even in place (who knows)
