In Danger
Let's say a meeting organizer ordered lunches for the participants and staff, but that because there are more walk-in participants than expected, some staff members may not able to eat their lunches. One of them asked, "Are our lunches in danger?" Does this make sense? It could mean, "Are our lunches in danger of being snatched by the walk-ins so that we might have to go on without them?" right?

I had this feeling I'd heard this utterance, but I was not sure I'd heard it right. I now know it makes sense thanks to you, MM, although the speaker must have used it in what he intended to be a funny way.
