Quantum entanglement could connect drones for disaster relief, bypassing traditional networks (phys.org)

Any time you use a device to communicate information—an email, a text message, any data transfer—the information in that transmission crosses the open internet, where it could be intercepted. Such communications are also reliant on internet connectivity, often including wireless signal on either or both ends of a transmission.

But what if two—or 10, or 100, or 1,000—entities could be connected in such a way that they could communicate information without any of those security or connectivity concerns?

"disaster relief". Sure, there ARE civil and civilian use cases for such a technology, but we all know what drives drone technology nowadays.

Never mind they WANT everyone's communications to be interceptable.
