That and inventing, revising, updating the way so noone can take over thats not supose to have control over plane. They will. Hope they at least keep 1 crewmember on board even on cargo flights.
Great point, I'm in the OEF theatre as I type this and have had a near miss with a UAV the other day. I can imagine that as soon as Al Q.. realises no one is actually flying those big jets that some tech genius terrorist will try every possible thing to jam or remotely gain control of these large UAS jets and crash them into targets. Now that would be a total disaster. They'll tell us "Don't worry that won't happen we've thought of everything. Then all of a sudden there will be an app for that...
