After all real dogs and cats usually aren't in danger of kidnapping even though you could sell them or eat them or something. Indeed if they're anything like real animals, the biggest danger will be inattentive drivers.
* Have you considered not flying your military drones over other countries?
I suspect the bigger danger will be vandalism. I will admit that the robots that wander my local grocery store looking for messes to clean up (or at least to alert humans to) make me irrationally angry. They get in my way and distract my attention, and it makes me want to just kick the *$%# out of them. I suspect I'm not the only one who feels this way, and the more robots get 'out in the environment' without anybody watching out for them, the more people will damage them on purpose.
I do feel a sort of spirit in the machine for these new AI gadgets, even though I am aware of the reality of it.
