A booby trap is a device or setup that is intended to kill harm or surprise a person or animal unknowingly triggered by the presence or actions of the victim. As the word trap implies they sometimes have some form of bait designed to lure the victim towards it. At other times the trap is set to act upon trespassers that violate personal or restricted areas. The device can be triggered when the victim performs some type of everyday action e.g. opening a door picking something up or switching something on. They can also be triggered by vehicles driving along a road as in the case of victim-operated improvised explosive devices IEDs. Booby traps should not be confused with mantraps which are designed to catch a person. Lethal booby traps are often used in warfare particularly guerrilla warfare and traps designed to cause injury or pain are also sometimes used by criminals wanting to protect drugs or other illicit property and by some owners of legal property who wish to protect it from theft.
