Or, the blackboxes might not emit the radiation we expect because of some technology or physics that we don't know about yet.

Like maybe there is a very good reason NOT to be emitting radiation at that obvious wavelength, because we might not be the only ones looking...

Security through obscurity give huge success at minimal effort.

It might not be 100% secure but it's not meant to be, either. Just more secure than nothing.
