Here's an interesting PDF on the subject. I haven't read it yet but figured I'd share here for disucssion.
http://remotecontrolproject.org/wp-...ostile-use-of-drones-report_open-briefing.pdf
A synopsis on Slashdot says this:
Even though the report notes that commercial drones have a limited flight time, range of movement, and payload capacity, and that their operators still have to be relatively close to a potential target, the researchers are particularly worried about the possibility of drones being used as remotely controlled explosive devices. They say, "The technology of remote-control warfare is impossible to control; the ultimate defence is to address the root drivers of the threat in the first place."
The last, bolded sentence is what I find most interesting and why I'm going to read the report.
