"It is amazing to me that in this day and time there is not any self destruct mech. built in these things. No communications from home base in 10 minutes.....blow the hell out of it." I had the same thought, Pro! A total disaster for the CIA or whatever outfit was flying that thing. You will lay the blame on Obama, as if HE was the designer/pilot. As a former software engineer, I wondered why they had not installed uncrackable hardware encryption on the control signals as well. If the Iranian/Chinese hadn't been able to control it, it had a program to return to base when it lost communication.
