Probably blew a 25-cent fuse. How wild is that?

OTOH, rumor has it* that the maintenance team was watching the boxed set of BSG Season 2 and the drone absorbed some Cylon juju through it's FLIR array.

*The creative part of my brain could not be reached for comment, but we have it on good faith that this rumor is indeed TRUE.

was a UAV not enough so they went and made a UAAV

Someone might have figured out how to take control of a UAV and was trying to steal it.

But knowing how well made American products are i'd suspect the 25 cent fuse also.

Cant be. For American made products the $5,000.00 power supply will fry to protect the 25 cent fuse.

I would not doubt it. There were enemy forces in Afghanistan (or was it Iraq) who were intercepting the Camera feeds from the UAVs and warning their guys when they were coming. All because our UAV Feeds were not encrypted because it slowed down the transmission of data.
