I don't trust the Malaysians.....

(CNN) - Malaysian officials and investigators have given confusing, and at times conflicting information about missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

Some of the actions -- for example not checking the pilots' homes -- are "completely unprofessional," says CNN national security analyst and former CIA officer Robert Baer .

"I don't trust the Malays at this point," said Baer. "They are not a good source of information at all."

"They are embarrassed about what happened. They lost an airplane and it's a sleight to their dignity, and the rest of it. The government -- it's a political catastrophe for them, and they are trying to cover up as best they can," said Baer.

Flight 370 hijacking theories: Improbability or best hope?

Some relatives of the passengers on the missing plane are hoping it is a hijacking. While it is a far-fetched conspiracy theory, it represents the only scenario that leaves open the possibility of seeing their loved ones alive.

Baer was actually part of a CIA plot to hijack a Soviet airplane for its technology back in the 1980s.

"But thinking that somebody hijacked this (Malaysian) airliner in that fashion is truly outlandish," says Baer.
