Predator drones use less encryption than your TV, DVDs

Militants have been recording video from US Predator drones in Iraq and
Afghanistan using laptops and $30 software, thanks to a total lack of
encryption.
Are you sure this wasn't an April Fools story? This is ridiculous!

No it is not an Aprils Fool joke and of course it is a little more
complicated than the media makes it out,
There are layers you must go through to add encryption and make it
work with equipment.
One thing the military suffers under is competing services (three
main branches plus Marines)

So the video feed is unencrypted, who cares? Not like you can take a
predator on a top secret mission. Are we supposed to be worried they
are watching this instead of Fox News?
What I would hope is difficult to do is *take control* of the device.
All he other data feeds are encrypted.
This is the only feed not encrypted.

Among the many trade offs involved:
You will only get half as much bandwidth for video if you encrypt.
