This won't be good for anyone...

Mexican police discovered four men carting a kamikaze drone equipped with an IED and a remote detonator last week, in what analysts say is an example of cartels figuring out how to weaponizing UAVs.
The disturbing development is a manifestation of something top American security chiefs warned Congress about earlier this year when they said they feared terrorists would begin to use drones to attack targets within the U.S.

Ever since drones became accessible it's been a concern... earlier this month...
Hamas Deploys Armed Drone to Attack Israel

Being so available in the US, It'll most likely be the next type of 9/11 terror attack. Coordinated multiple drone bombs.. scary stuff.
 
Well I'm hoping that given the size of the average drone that any explosive device is limited in size accordingly and not capable of mass carnage. The bigger problem is the proliferation of non DJI platforms where NFZ/Geo blocking technology cannot be applied and their ability to carry an IED undetected by current technology.
What bothers me even more is the use of trucks and other vehicles to create mass casualties and create enormous panic.
Time for a lie down methinks....
