Obfuscate. Just transmit multiple streams of pre-recorded video/data that will hide the real stream in an electronic haystack.
Send them wrong information. Subterfuge.

A risk / cost assessment was probably made quite a while ago.
If it's an armed drone, do you take out anyone who is on the other side of a door if they open the door to look up in the sky to see if there's a drone looking at thier door ?

The price of those new Reaper drones is starting to approach the cost of an F-16.

free- factoring in the cost of the forward basing of an F-16, nope. They fly slower and much farther than a manned F-16. Really, they're the future of air to ground surveillance and combat.
