Nuclear jets containing relativistic ``hot'' particles close to the central engine cool dramatically by producing high energy radiation. The radiative dissipation is similar to the famous Compton drag acting upon ``cold'' thermal particles in a relativistic bulk flow. Highly relativistic protons induce anisotropic showers raining electromagnetic power down onto the putative accretion disk. Thus, the radiative signature of hot hadronic jets is x-ray irradiation of cold thermal matter. The synchrotron radio emission of the accelerated electrons is self-absorbed due to the strong magnetic fields close to the magnetic nozzle.
