Anca Nitu Oct 17, 2007:
cf definitiei e o capcana exploziva improvizata, partea cu improvitatia e esentiala ca de aceea se cheama "booby"

Ar putea fi şi ”dispozitiv antipersonal„, nu neapărat mină, poate fi montată şi în clădiri, şi poate avea declanşare diversă împotriva pesoanelor nedorite într-un anumit perimetru. Deci, este mai puţin periculos decît o mină antipersonal.
Example sentence:

In warfare, a booby trap is an antipersonnel device placed in building or in a noncombat area that has a psychological draw for enemy soldiers.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Anca Nitu : A booby trap is distinguished from a land mine by the fact that it is an improvised weapon

Aşa este, am citit şi eu în definiţia din wikipedia. Am asimilat dispozitivul cu mina. Nu m-am gîndit la alte chestii.
