GPS in the past had built in error so prevent someone from automating the navigation. Now, it's really actually pretty precise. I agree this is a worry, though this isn't just limited to drones...but all R/C aerial vehicles of any size. Airplanes, Gliders (this one worries me more, because there wouldn't be any noise warning you), drones...you can put a LOT of other things to use to be just as deadly, in my opinion. Singling out drones isn't the solution...you need to go after the pilots.

Considering any payload would be pretty tiny on a drone, I'm still more worried about using private planes with explosives the way 9/11 was done, just not depending on jet fuel do do all the damage.
