I'd be more concerned with signal interception. Assume they use current RC tech[1], which is designed to elimiate interference or capture error, but that doesn't mean it's infeasible. That would be a troubling twist.

Suppose a related idea would be that the image captures from airport body scanners could be intercepted. I have not seen any reference to such an action, at all. Anyone have ideas about an attack vector for those?

I'm sure it will be shot at. Shooting something down is pretty hard.

I predict the first US citizen to shoot down one of these will instantly become a folk hero.

Alternatively you can probably crash an RC plane or something into it

I can't imagine how hard that would be. Dealing in three dimensions at a distance is hard.

If you can reliably recognise a given drone's rf, you could probably make one that homes in automatically.
