What if the drone pilot defected his aircraft to Iran?
Didn't some smart over paid guy think of that before they started making RC war planes?
Is there no fail safe?

There should be a fail safe for this sort of thing. On the other hand the UAS may not contain enough advanced avionics and stealth technologies for it to be the end of the world as we know it. For example that stealth grill does look like a dated RCS reduction technique.

I still think a B-2 or a cruise missile could end this right now. NO FAIL SAFE ! Bang Head

That may cause problems. The US may still be afraid of causing Iran to go berserk over this.

Yep, Stealth... So the bad guys don't know your there till they start blowing up. Yes they would go berserk, but I'd do it just the same. I guess I'm just one of those rightwing wackos.
