I think that an unexpected side result was a good test of general society paranoia, or the lack of it. I would have expected the bomb squad to show up and try and disarm the little guy.

This line of experimenting with robots and psychology is very interesting and I would like to see more. ...subscribes to blog... for the record, got here via Hack-a-Day.
