Ahhhh, yes. That was my mistake. You responded seriously to an unserious post about placing mines. So then I mistakenly thought you were actually addressing the topic of this entire thread: putting concertina wire along a stretch of the TX/NM border, and — here we are.
[sigh] That’s the trouble with the internet, these days; can’t tell the serious from the unserious; never quite sure if someone’s being sarcastic, or if they really think they’re onto something.
My old school gut says the comment about placing land mines was unserious, but — ya never quite know, anymore. So, I guess I understand how you got roped into replying as if they were serious.
You are, indeed, correct about the legal technicalities of placing land mines. I’ve no idea why anyone would even suggest it other than in the vein of dark humor.
Actually, I think the other guy was serious about mines.
But yeah, I was only responding to the mines bit. I’m fine with the concertina wire in vast quantities being used to funnel would-be entrants to entry ports.
