Thankfully, the Japanese are a nation of nerds and instead of creating robots of mass destruction, they are creating robots for your aiport secretarial needs.
The very famous Japanese manga Gingatetsudo 999 or Galaxy Express 999 (on the same level as Captain Harlock (Albator)) featured Me-Teru as a hero, and here she is as a robotic receptionist at the airport of Kita-Kyushu (the home town of the manga-ka of this series, Matsumoto-San). this Me-Teru robot measures 1m70 and can respond to 200 airport releated questions.[via Engadget.com]
How long do you think it'll be before an employee from Kita-Kyushu will be busted for Crimes Against Robo-Nature?

Dude, it's things like this that lead to Ultron.
In fact, if there isn't a Secret Origin of Ultron that shows Hank Pym building an v1.0 Ultron that functions as an airport secretary....well, there damn well oughta be.
This is why we have the Ultimate Universe. So we can get these things right the second time around.
