Re: Unmanned Drones Could Be Hijacked
IF (big if) the Iranians are to be believed in any way, they claim to have "hijacked" a drone and brought it down.
If they can do it, it can be done here.
Nothing like having a missle custom made for terrorist use. Would be a 9/11 type event if the drone was large enough or hit a vulnerable target.

I think that they should man the drones with armed pilots. That would take care of hijackers.
