Keep the devices (which interestingly enough aren't black, but I'm sure most people know that), but have them transmit the data wirelessly for an easier recovery.
They do something like that already called ACARS but it can be turned off like in the OP's incident. It's easily receivable by anyone with a PC and a radio scanner.
