You do know that you can be charged with a serious crime if your booby
trapped home kills or injures a burglar, right?

I don't think that "Be very paranoid" is good advice!  Every time someone
physically attacks you, you are proved right, but all the rest of the time
you are worrying for no reason.  You might never be physically attacked by
anyone for the rest of your life.  I say "Be very relaxed."  Enjoy
yourself more.  Live in a decent neighborhood and don't bar the windows.

The lesson you should take from your paranoid high school years is that
you were *wrong*.  The government did *not* want to kill you and you were
worrying for no good reason.
