Since most commercial aircraft have multiple transponders, it should be assumed that if an aircraft stops squacking, something is BAD WRONG. Beyond this, the ability of the flight crew (any of them) to push a "panic" button that would cause the transponder to squack a predetermined distress code may me a good measure to implement. This "Panic" button should NOT provide any visible confirmation in the flight-deck instrumentation but instead, the ATC should in some cryptic form acknowledge the fact that the aircraft is in distress via radio communications.
