Deptula whacks Predator hack worries

I had a scheduled interview with Lt Gen David Deptula this morning, so I asked the US Air Force deputy chief of staff for intelligence, surveillance and reconaissance for his thoughts about Predator-gate (aka, the Wall Street Journal's scoop yesterday that insurgents have hacked Predator video feeds using $26 scanners).

It was quickly very clear that Deptula doesn't think this is a news story, or worthy of a conversation for that matter. Here's a quick soundbite: "We are talking about the interception of signals that are broadcast over the air -- duh."
