So a bit of C4 and a kill switch literally blows that idea out of the sky.
Pretty sure the eagles would get hurt pretty badly going into propellers that spins at 12,000 rpm.

[QUOTE=themooselord;49697357]what kind of common criminal has c4 laying around?[/QUOTE] Don't be a smartass. You get the idea. They could use anything if they wanted. Gunpowder even in a sealed metal capsule. All you need is shrapnel to cripple/kill the bird and a poorly thought idea gets quickly axed as anyone loaning out the birds backs out of offering their services. And frankly as someone else mentioned, if that doesn't injure them, the rotor blades will.
Don't you think arming a drone with an explosive, flying it in a no-fly zone on purpose where they happen to have specially trained eagles, just so you can maybe hurt one bird. Isn't that a little steep? And wouldn't most people consider it to be quite the success to trade the life of a bird for a [I]drone armed with a bomb[/I]? You're exactly like the guys who responded with "People will just shoot them down!", when amazon announced their drone services. Its an ridiculous escalation. EDIT: If a bald eagle ever dies, because he takes down a drone for national security and it blows up. I expect the present of the united states himself to give the fucking speech at this burial.
Whats ridiculous is using live birds of prey instead of just shooting the damn thing down with an air rifle or low velocity shotgun
