U.S. official: Iran does have our drone - CBS News
What do you suppose will happen when they hook this baby up to a truck battery trying to learn what makes it tick...
and the GPS system pings its location (+/- 7 meters)? 
Very glad I'm over here worrying about roundwounds and pickup configurations.

Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.
It's now time to spend another couple of hundred billion dollars to come up with the next latest secret technology. |

The secrets they are worried about are most likely what it was taking images of during its flight... Which I'm sure has an OH %#*( protocol built in.
Not stressing it, really. |

Apparently they are pretty easy to manoeuvre, the U.S. army apparently uses Xbox 360 controllers for them, no joke.
