I just love the media's mis-use of the term DRONE. A drone is an autonomous craft that is not directly controlled by a human.
These R/C quad (and hex) copters such as the DJI Phantom and E-Flite Blade QX-350 are not even close to being "Drones"... Micro UAS is a much better term.
Check out the AMA web site- "Pinker vs NTSB". It might be possible that these could be considered "aircraft" i/a/w 14 CFR Part 1 and thus the "operator" could possibly be found in violation of 14 CFR 91.13 (civil penalty)...
