I'd be more concerned with signal interception. Assume they use current RC tech[1], which is designed to elimiate interference or capture error, but that doesn't mean it's infeasible. That would be a troubling twist.
Suppose a related idea would be that the image captures from airport body scanners could be intercepted. I have not seen any reference to such an action, at all. Anyone have ideas about an attack vector for those?

Prediction: it will be shot down within the first month of operation.

I'm sure it will be shot at. Shooting something down is pretty hard.
I predict the first US citizen to shoot down one of these will instantly become a folk hero.
Alternatively you can probably crash an RC plane or something into it
I can't imagine how hard that would be. Dealing in three dimensions at a distance is hard.
If you can reliably recognise a given drone's rf, you could probably make one that homes in automatically.
