Landmines aren't effective, because they're simple and cheap. They're effective, because they blow up people that shouldn't be where we don't want them.

Uh-huh. And one that costs $10 to do that is 100 times as effective as one that costs $1,000.

Smart bombs are effective because their cost is low relative to the value of the targets they destroy.

One more time: what features do you expect to see on landmines to make them 100 times as effective in return for a 100-fold increase in price?

Whatever is the best, least easy to steal and most serviceable to our troops. Are there $1000 landmines out there? How about a mercury switch in there or trembler to make them hard to remove?

Let's build the wall and put the troops on it first, maybe we won't even need landmines. It might be overkill.
