So all this is telling me is high altitude stealth is a bit pointless if your in the contrail layer?
Apparently the B-2A has a rear facing l
aser, or "laser" (© Dr Evil), to detect contrails, thus enabling the computer, err... pilots, to adjust altitude.
BTW, could the pic be of a RQ-180? (See also
