: There's a very good reason why the company "used" to make these.
: Booby traps are illegal! I believe that this is federal law. If you use
: such a device and injure someone, you are liable for civil and criminal
: prosecution, regardless of whether the person was commiting a criminal act
: or not. The basic premise is that you cannot injure or kill someone for a
: property crime. The only time that injurious or lethal force may legally
: be used is when you are protecting yourself or others from bodily harm or
: death.
: I realize that this may not seem fair, but it's the law.
I first saw this in Popular Science if I remember correctly. They built a small retreat in the woods as a progect. The building was vandilized and they put in this system to protect the building while it was unoccupied. I sent for the literature at the time because I was building a house in the middle of a woods. Another thought---a pressure can air horn could be triggered the same way.
