Both of us want to incorporate that intent into the clause. May I suggest that his formulation does not quite do that? It provides for the object or article to be intended for use, but that intent does not fall on the person who is judged to be guilty of the offence. There might be a flaw in his drafting in the use of the passive rather than the active mood of the verb.
