Confused Aircraft Targeting IEDs

While working on my latest Afghan scenario I noticed aircraft targeting IEDs, fortified houses, and hiding places. I became particularly dismayed when an AC-130 Spectre repeatedly targeted a booby trap enroute to its designated target.

In my opinion the IEDs, fortified houses and hiding places ought not to be targeted unless the player designates it as a target.

Now, that means fortified houses in my opinion should not be disclosed by aircraft or the player placing cursor on the house. It should remain discrete until a unit is within a hex for a turn, similar as what happens with mines and IEDs, and snipers and engineers. But, in no way should an aircraft ID an IED.

Maybe I am missing something in my design, if so, please advise.
