IMHO, if the hijacking of a drone is such a big issue, then security (such as encryption) should be in place to reduce the likelihood of an interception. Security through obscurity should not be the answer.

This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. We're already on the limit of what processing power we can have onboard and the limit of wireless bandwidth. Any encryption is just above and beyond what's possible. However, doesn't stop a simple MD5 username and password combo as a start though!

Reporting such an obviously anti social activty is fine. Providing a link to facilitate it's spread seems a step too far.
