Most U.S. Drones Openly Broadcast Secret Video Feeds
http://j.mp/Tql400 (Wired)
"Four years after discovering that militants were tapping into drone
video feeds, the U.S. military still hasn't secured the transmissions
of more than half of its fleet of Predator and Reaper drones, Danger
Room has learned. The majority of the aircraft still broadcast their
classified video streams "in the clear" - without encryption. With a
minimal amount of equipment and know-how, militants can see what
America's drones see."

That's "secret" video feeds.
