“Well, they MAY be recovering data - but, decrypting that data might prove a challenge ...”
Not if they are given the crypto keys. After all, this drone just happened to “crash” without a single mark on it, obastard refused to let our military retake or destroy it, and obastard hates America. I wouldn’t put it past him to just hand over the keys...
That would involve someone in the DOD making the (correct) keys available to Obama - which I doubt anyone would do.
