I agree whole heartedly “Lonesome” and I just cant believe with all of our technology and computer knowledge, you’d think they could have come up with a 1960’s version of “Mission Impossibles “ melting self destruct cassette tape decks, pens, radios? or whatever. Whereby no one is killed except maybe the idiots picking the drone up and getting goo all over their hands. I was in Naval Intelligence 30 years ago and some technologies we we had then did not become public until a good twenty years later...makes me wonder...I’m so perplexed about all of this.

I believe that it is tamper proof, or at least tamper resistant. Military GPS receivers have keys that are good for one year. If compromised, if they fall into hostile hands, the hardware is useful, but you “cannot” recover the key from the hardware, or so we assume. I “assume” that this thing is pretty tamper resistant and of relatively low value to someone who does not have the cypher keys. If the Iranians can control it, that indicates that they have our cypher keys, which is disturbing because the only way the could possibly have obtained the keys is by a spy in our operation. I was wondering what Airman Mohammad Pahlavi was doing in that closed chamber with all those CDROMs.
