Anything can be misused; as long as man walks this earth, there will always be someone who thinks they can get way with it... we just had a drone pilot arrested out here in California, because he flew his multi-rotor too close to a police helicopter.... back when I was just starting out in this hobby, and the first large scale planes started appearing, there were several attempts to use them to bring pot across the Mexican boarder, I remember reading in the news paper about one instance where the boarded patrol shot down a large scale model after observing it flying back and forth across the boarder... a well placed shotgun shell brought it down, and the picture in the news paper showed the fuselage burst open with a bunch of pot bricks inside.
