booby traping your home is a really stupid idea, I promise that your
dog/child/spouse will be theone to accidentally set it off. besides for
this you can get sued..

every hear the one about the case of a guy who constantly had his radar
detector stolen out his his car, he decides to set a trap and rigs his next
one with exposive. The perp steals the box, sells it. someclown powers it
up on his dash board and BANG!.. well you'd figure justice is served, but
the NYC judges awarded the mass of flesh damages and charged the guy with
manslaughter.

only in Amerika..

     I wasn't condoning boobytrapping, I was arguing that a claymore is 
a bit on the explosive side for use in a house (the thing has about a 
pound of C-4 and a whole bunch of steel ball bearings in it, 95% mortality
out to about 50 meters IIRC.

      There are other stories where the perp gets it _in_the_act_ and still
gets awarded damages. Fucking country is going to the dogs and there ain't 
nowhere else to go.

Hrmmm... for the "pre-dawn raid" thing though, I've got a better one.

Where I live (Wake County, North Carolina), if someone's breaking into
your home, until they identify themselves as law inforcement, its legal to
shoot, and even kill, them, _As long as they're facing you_... funny, eh?

So, if someone breaks through my window at 6:00 AM, and they don't say
"Police" or "Secret Services", they aren't gonna be saying anything.
