In my mind, this whole drone video feed stealing shows two things.
1. Who ever designed the systems were retarded to not encrypt that video feeds. And now us tax payers will spend millions and perhaps billions to fix their screw ups.
2. Once encryption methods are properly implemented, even if new drones so equipped are intercepted, it should not cost much to swap in new encryption chips to the whole fleet of drones. I disagree with any who say we need to use the best available US encryption techniques, when changing encryption techniques will be enough to stay well ahead of an increasing sophisticated enemy.
3. We also have to question the value of using drones as offensive weapons in an international war on terrorism. Yes they are nice because no US personnel are risked, yes they do inspire fear in the enemy, but sadly, the human animal is very stubborn and the will to resist is an even stronger emotion than fear. And what good are drones when our experience in their use only shows their use creates more terrorists than we kill.
