Jacking drones for ransom from a company that works directly with the US government? That might work a few times but how long until the coast guard intervenes?

Jacking drones for ransom from a company that works directly with the US government? That might work a few times but how long until the coast guard intervenes? Not to mention that you need a ship, probably multiple people and quite a bit of time to find such a drone, which I imagine you don't want to do too close to the coast. I doubt this can be done in an economical fashion especially considering opportunity costs. Anyone who's able to do this can probably get a more stable and higher income trafficking drugs.
