Not only that, but imagine the harm that can be done if killer drone swarms get into the hands of bad people, such as terrorists.

That's the entire premise behind the US and Israel hacking Iran's nuclear plants (remember Stuxnet?), they don't want Jihadists to get access to devastating weapons because they will use them against the US too, any chance they get.
