OT: SPYWARE/TROJAN and Off Topic!

[En Forcer]

I read in my law text that booby-traps are illegal in the U.S. And also fatal car alarms.

The case they sited was this fellow in Chicago who had a shotgun wired to the front door so that it went off if someone kicked in his front door. It went off and killed some kid trying to rob his place and he was tried for murder.

I saw the system they have in South Africa. There is the one that shoots flames up the side of the car at the press of a footswitch. Frys the carjacker. And I think they have one with a fatal tazer also if you try to steal the car. Neat ideas and a great short term fix but their use would be on VERY ethically and morally shakey ground.

It's a pretty big debate and by no means settled. I'm sure there will be good points for either side as time goes on.
