Pretty sure the World does not revolve around the NSA.....
Shows what YOU know! Neener, neener!
Or, the NSA doesn't revolve around the world makes more sense. Maybe.

But they do, in low Earth orbit. Along with NRO.

Just a thought here... What if it isn't what that know that makes this a secret national security matter, but what they don't know yet?

o. The ocean is so big we have no actual idea where it crashed and may never be found.
I think O.
and maybe it's just an ongoing investigation and therefore they don't say anything. Lets consider the source here.

Consider for a moment that there was a multinational search-effort in looking for this plane. If the US had military assets assisting in this search, conclusions from their methods could definitely be cause to claim National Security.
Example: (and I'm just pulling this outta my ass) if a US Sub used terrain-mapping sonar to search an area at 6000 feet, that would say "Hey - our subs can actively map the sea floor at 6000 ft!".
Maybe there's some capabilities that were used in the search that we don't want others to know about - hence the classification

Why don't we all respect the families of the passengers involved and stop tossing out all of these factless assumptions and 'what if's'. We will all know what happened when the mystery is solved with conclusive evidence.
For goodness sake show some heart, there are dozens of families suffering immensely because of this and all of you are just treating it like its some Where's Waldo puzzle. I'm ashamed of this community right now.

"Conclusive evidence"? Given to us by the government? Don't give me that crap! This needs going over with a fine tooth comb by external experts because there are just too many holes in the official story.
If a relative of mine was killed I would want to know EXACTLY what happened to them and questionable, unreliable, or suspicious info given to me by the government is just not good enough.
You can not simply take their word for it because we know they lie and we know there are discrepancies in their information. In fact if I was a relative of one of the deceased/missing, I would be far more upset if people just let this drop without questioning everything and finding out the truth.
I'm ashamed of you for bending over and letting the government shove their crap up your @ss.
One day people who question authority will bring true transparency and freedom to the world and people like you will share the benefits even though you do nothing to help

The NSA dont have the capability to track every plane on Earth and you are seriously misguided if you think the Americans know what happened to the flight.
Do you know why UAVs are flown over the battlefield, why Apache gunships provide overwatch and target acquisition for soldiers on the ground? Why the Russians test UK RAF response times, why there are 200 missing school girls taken Boko Haram missing if the USA is so great?? Why the USA has lots of assets on the ground?? Because satellites cant provide 24/7 coverage of everything on earth by a country mile.

We're all missing the obvious clues in this case.
The area they're searching in, in the South Indian Ocean came from a private satellite company being able to trace the 'pings' from the transmitter and the flight path.
If a private company can give an estimated guess then you can bet your bottom dollar that a government with billions of dollars of resources could pinpoint where this plane is, was, or went down within a few feet of the exact location.
Either someone shot this plane down, and are doing everything in their power to cover it up, someone was on board who was of great importance to a government and they've taken the whole plane to get at them, or it's sat on a runway in Diego Garcia in god knows what kind of plan.
