It's quite simple.
You said, the US has nothing to look under the sand with.

I said, they do.

You said, why didn't they use it then?

I said, because of its limitations. Those limitations dictate that to use
it effectively they have to know more or less where to look.

Now, to your current question:
For all we know, they may actually be using it to look at specific areas.
But the planes were found by chance, they weren't looking for them.

I summarised the thread above because it makes a point. Do you see it?
