What of the danger if it falls into enemy hands?

100 non existent. Guam is a US territory but either end of the runway it crashed is secured by hard jungle or treacherous currents. If it went in the water then the US Navy and Coast Guard could have the area secured in moments. It's said that Jacques Cousteau declared that specific area unsafe to dive.

Most likely the crash site could still be on base, but in a pinch Marines can be called in if needed.

Don't think we know that yet, but structural spares are hard to come by and there are no B-2s in the boneyard.

It's not likely to fall into enemy hands sitting on the tarmac on Anderson AFB, Guam, US territory.

Don't know about any destruct package, and wouldn't say if I did. :0
