Bogus title; should be "The Drone Zone". The bit about tracking a civilian SUV wasn't even the lede.
I've also noticed (from seeing the pre-change link-bait title and the post-change original title) that I would probably miss out on some interesting articles if it wasn't for link bait titles. (ie I agree with sibling DevX101)
So now I don't really see anything wrong with changing the title, as long as its done prudently. What's worse is blog authors that give their uninteresting articles link-bait names, then making it to the front page based not on the content of the essay but on the effectiveness of the title.
