Frankly the biggest safety issue is that they have no transponder. So even if something goes wrong and they have to surface, rescuers are stuck looking for a drifting needle in a 41 million square mile haystack.

Fair point, especially with all the other shortcuts taken.

Honestly, I'm shocked by this. I would have thought that they'd at least be not-stupid enough to have something like that.

Yeah you'd think they'd at least have an EPIRB or something along those lines?
