Matthew Falanga, an airborne electronics analyst, observes a radar image aboard a Royal Australian Air Force AP-3C Orion aircraft during a search operation of the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 over the southern Indian Ocean.

The public has been surprised to learn of the limitations of tracking and communications devices, which contributed to the plane vanishing for more than two weeks. But the advanced capabilities of some technologies, particularly satellites, have provided hope that the mystery won't go unsolved. (AP Photo/Michael Martina, Pool, File)

FILE - In this Oct. 21, 2013, photo, Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, talks with area farmers as he tours the East Central Iowa Co-Op in Cedar Falls, Iowa. You might think this year's candidates had learned from Barack Obama's comments about bitter people who &quot;cling to guns or religion.&quot; Or perhaps from Mitt Romney's apparent dismissal of the 47 percent of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes. Braley apologized after describing six-term GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley as &quot;a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school, never practiced law.&quot; (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)
