Having flown in an air stack many times with Predators in pattern with me, I fear a pred flying absent-mindedly through my air space far more than the Taliban actually shooting worth a damn. The mid-air collision system would probably go off once a month as a pred tried to kill us, not maliciously, but because the guy flying it in Creech had spilled coffee on the keyboard (at least that's what we said).
