You seem to be missing my point -- I'm not concerned with individual, specific Predator giving the Wi-Fi. My concern is that by using the Predators for trivial missions like this, we give away important performance characteristics and details of operational usage and parameters, which would NOT be otherwise readily available.

Which could then be used to devise counters for those Predators carrying (say) Hellfire missiles, or those "loitering" in theatre for long periods of time.

Cheers!

I believe that information is already out there. I would imagine they would use the older, more expendable aircraft for a mission like this.
