I don't own one or fly one, but I'm 99% sure there is no altitude limit programmed in to any of them. After the white house issues this and last year, I believe some of the manf's are programming code to not even let them take off at all within a certain distance of the white house. Problem is that will only take care of some of these, not all of them. Many of the folks flying these are well versed in programming, and don't rely on stock manf gear to get the up and running. I wouldn't doubt for a second someone had the technology to drop these things out of the skies with a button or two, but doubt it could be done easily without affecting other electronics.
