I agree, the bear trap was too much. I was actually thinking of something more sophmoric. They could still move out, leave a night vision camera in their house, and put in life size blow-up dolls popping out of doors, and some sounds and noises a la Ferris Bueller.
I would like to see actual footage of a real, unedited SWAT raid in real time. There has been an explosion of SWAT raids, and the public really does need to see one in vivo.
I like that idea.
