Thanks for the correction Real. I missed the "unencrypted" when I read it earlier.

No problem Frank. But in the name of clear thinking I will point out that even the successful hacking of an encrypted signal does not prove that ALL encrypted transmissions are hackable. Taking that one step further, I think it would be difficult to prove that ALL possible encrypted systems are hackable.

In any case, it looks like the security breach of our drones has been fixed! It's about time!

My first thought was "If it can be built, it can be broke," then I read the article. Wow.

It seems kind of like building a house, and forgetting the roof, don't ya think?
