Dropping the drones is an opportunity for surveillance to catch you via license plate, gait, et cetera.

The range of even an inefficient quadcopter drone being what it is, if your target is somewhere in San Diego then "in the area" of your target includes bits of Mexico.

(For competently designed fixed-wing drones, Canada is "in the area" of San Diego).

Drone dropping drone doesn't have a license plate nor gait.

Yeah guess you could have a self driving semi-truck (full of quadrocopters) programmed to flip its plate and truck on.

Ok, I guess I will drop it in some unimportant ditch 20 miles away at 1am on a nondescript stolen bicycle. That cost me about 1% of the cost of this hypothetical recharging hunter-killer terminator.
