So it isn't actually true that it is "constantly scanning every inch of the entire globe with IR cameras with missile/plane/boat/person(?) level resolution" then, or it is true and they know exactly where the plane went down they just don't tell anyone about it for some reason. Its either or.
Every inch of the globe is imaged every N hours, by satellites making continuous observations. Most of the earth is not under sensor coverage at any particular instant. Both are true.
It’s possible that NRO has a later observation of MH370 than any that have been publicly disclosed, but it would be sheer luck to have, like, video of the disappearance.
