: Brian,

: How does this relate to a home alarm system? It is in essence a booby trap
: that is just waiting for an intruder to trigger it. If the alarm scares
: him and he has a heart attack is the home owner liable?

Apparently, not in the eyes of the law. The INTENT of an alarm is to sound an alert, not to injure the intruder. Booby traps are designed to cause injury or death. I believe that's the legal distinction.
