US shoots down ISIS-operated drone for the first time (http://rt.com/news/242437-us-bombs-isis-drone/)
QuoteDetails about the drone and the strike are slim, with CENTCOM saying only that the military destroyed a "remotely piloted aircraft and an ISIL vehicle." The strike occurred near Fallujah, which remains controlled by militants.
Speaking with the Daily Beast, Christopher Harmer, a senior naval analyst with the Middle East Security Project in Washington, DC, added that even low-tech drones could be fashioned into deadly devices.
"They don't have reusable attack drones, but I think it is just a matter of time before they jury-rig surveillance drones into flying IEDs," he said. "Basically, they could turn them into little kamikaze drones."
This is the first drone to be shot down by the US-led coalition in Iraq, but officials believe ISIS has several.

Why not they can pick them up at a hobby store.

This is scary. I heard that they have used chemicals against some of the Iraqis. I wonder if they could convert drones into doing that. Supposedly we have ISIS members here in all the states. I bet they would love to spread some of that Jihad love around here.
Good, we should shoot down other things too. Starting with Mecca
