Another "benefit" of a UAV, is that the politicians can't use it as a taxi. Some years ago I knew some folks at the police aviation unit for a major US city that were well overdue for helo upgrade, but they deliberately stuck with their clapped out twin seater, because they knew that if they upgraded to a nice multi seat turbine, the Mayor would summon it as their personal taxi to jaunt off to the capital.
