Well, the only harm I see is that the US will then take more money from healthcare and education to build more drones.

How much does each of there drones cost in taxpayer $?

Update: unverified comments below say > $15 million per drone. That's a lot of kids with cancer that won't get cured

~5 million meals for hungry people per drone ($3/meal will be a little lean, but probably enough for a sandwich and some veggies). 150,000,000 meals in just this.
