I like how guys at boingboing put this:
1 Predator drone: $4.5 million
Intercepting video from the Predator drone’s unprotected communications link: $25.95″
Subverting technology is always way cheaper than creating it.
We can expect more (and bigger) things happen following this trend.
WSJ via boingboing.
Update: Looks like not only Predator UAVs are vulnerable. Most USA warplanes are.
Update 2: And ground robots…

Aixo ho vam comentar bastant al curru, realment sigui un dron predator o un simple DRM, no pots esperar que cap sistema aguanti, quan tens la resta de la poblacio mundial amb temps lliure hurgant per petar ho que has fet…
