“I think it’s great; I think we ought to be using technology to make law enforcement more productive, cuts down on manpower and also more safe, that’s why we use it on the battlefield,” McDonnell said at the time. “If you’re keeping police officers safe, making it more productive and saving money … it’s absolutely the right thing to do.”

Sounds like if he signs it,it won't be because he likes it.

Still,I hope he signs it and has enough future political ambition to notice that "bipartisan,veto-proof,support".

McDonnell is a big drone booster, he loves them. If he signs it it will be for the sole purpose of saving face.
