Simple. The United States makes and arms three thousand drones and stores them on a military base. A foreign country or terrorist group or local nut case hacks in takes control of them. Suddenly one person pushes a button and three thousand drones suddenly starts targeting people at random.

Of course someone will argue they wouldn't be armed until close to the war zone. So then in that case drones can be used to ram passenger airlines.
