They took a rental plane (Warrier, 172, or something like that) and went out over the Los Angeles area. They started flying triangles (both ways) and listening on the radio. Nothing. (They did it for several hours!) They tried the radar chaff with somewhat worse results -- it all blew back into the cabin. Apparently, both have been removed from the list of recommended procedures.
