NEWSFLASH!
Dateline 2009-12-17.
US MILITARY DRONE DATA FOUND ON CAPTURED IRAQI INSURGENT'S COMPUTER LAPTOP!
How did it get there? No US military computer hacking evident!
REVELATION: Data stream was captured out of the air by the Iraqi insurgents!
PROBLEM: Data streaming to and from US military drones is UNENCRYPTED!
Massive DUH Factor!
Video data only? What if the control code for US drones is now in the hands of insurgents, if not the Taliban and Al Qaeda? IOW what if they can not only watch exactly what any US drone is seeing anywhere in Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan, but they also know exactly how to control the drones. Fun for them. Big black eye for the USA, specifically the NSA, the so-called National "Security" Agency.Hey NSA! Just give away my country! Go on. Hand it over! Who needs Benedict Arnold when the US federal government is being run by a bunch of BLITHERING IDIOTS.
Odd how a security novice like me knows better than to allow unencrypted military data. The mind boggles. Seriously. Could we do worse?
Great to have you protecting our home NSA. Such a good NSA. Sit NSA! Sit! Roll over. Play dead. Cute little NSA! You get a treat. I have a great big bone for you.
For more NSA FAILS, enjoy articles published here: FAIL and FAIL and FAIL and FAIL and FAIL again.
And I thought the Bush League Era was over. Tsk tsk on me.

UPDATE!
THE NSA KNEW ABOUT UNENCRYPTED DRONE DATA PROBLEM IN 1999!
We're living in the Realm of the Surreal.
Our Mission--
The NSA/CSS core missions are to protect U.S. national security systems and to produce foreign signals intelligence information.
