Are you active in the hobby? I know R/C pilots who could put a 2 lb “payload” on target at 3/4 mile with traditional “Line Of Sight” techniques. The local R/C field has banned “First Person View” flying.

Model planes with "first person view" (where a video camera on the plane feeds back to the controller) would make it viable to kamikaze an airliner. Even if the controller has a 1-in-10 chance of getting a hit, you just try N times (or have N planes) until you succeed.
