I'm intrigued about the Andaman islands report, but if there's one thing I've learned during this it's that everything has been semi-denied by somebody at some point. The only thing anybody agrees on is that the plane isn't where it's supposed to be, and that the guys with stolen passports likely weren't terrorists.

And if it's hidden, it also can't be reset by the crew. Generally speaking, the likelihood that the crew need to reset a breaker is far greater than the crew using it to disable something.
