Odd Locution

He who has the black box can say what is on it.  This from China Daily:

"The attorney general is in the UK discussing with relevant authorities such as ICAO and experts involved, based on international and domestic laws, who actually does have custody of the black box," he said at a press conference after visiting the Defense Services Asia exhibition site here. However, the focus was always on locating the plane first, he added.

Surely they mean to say "if and when a black box is found, into whose custody does it go?"

So far a jet is missing, and some 240 people.  Apart from the jet, are many words.  The words may have no relation to the circumstances of the jet.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
