So my biggest question is what if you are a commercial user have clearance with FAA if needed and they shoot you down? What happens then? I hope I am not going to be the first one to findout.
I guess, if shot down, the drone is gone, right? May you have the right to be silence, until a DonaldT will tell you how guilty u are by using an non US product. Wear orange.

That's Rich...REAL RICH...seriously, ya might want to clean your own closet first!
The US military policy is just that, policy. The current LAW is still in effect until rescinded by a judge or Congress. It is currently illegal to shoot down a drone.

You're not going to get clearance to fly over a military base with restricted airspace. That's already outright illegal.
Understand this isn't an order to shoot down drones, it's an authorization.
I don't think it would bother me, being a US military installation, they might shoot, but will take out several of their own installations with the 'friendly fire'.

The Navy didn't shoot down an Iranian drone menacing a carrier & blocking an FA/18's landing path so I wouldn't be too concerned about your Phantom...
