I was wondering about this on my drive home from work....with today's advanced technology....(and given the fact that flights are now letting passengers have wireless service) would it be that difficult to have the black box and cockpit voice recorders, gps tracking whatevers etc set to where while they are recording data, its simultaneously transmitting wirelessly to "somewhere" on the other end to be recorded as well? At least until the system that controlled it failed? I know it wouldnt replace finding those things, but wouldnt it help in situations like this where they have NO clue what happened?

I think that certainly could be done, technologically, and for a while now.
My guess is that it could become more of a concern for security purposes, people listening in to what they're not supposed to. So interception would probably be really hard to avoid.
If people could intercept a plane's GPS coordinates in real time, that would be very scary.
