I see a difference. Not today, because military drones (as far as I know) are still human-piloted. But that won't last. And then... It is the same difference as exists between automatic license plate readers and people standing on a corner with a pad and paper. I realize that a certain mindset (active in legal circles, but not exclusively so) that doesn't see that capabilities end up swallowing the original tradeoffs in some contexts. Put a different way, you're right. There's no capability difference. Lower cost and automation will simply allow much, much more of the same. Like how automatic weapons offer no capability difference over a single shot rifle - they just do the same thing faster. Hm...
