The MASTER MINE is a compact, reusable mine, powered by a standard 12-gram CO2 cartridge. It sprays 6 ounces of liquid paint or water, and covers an area up to 600 square feet! The mine can be set up in a horizontal or vertical position and has an ultra sensitive trigger mechanism, allowing the use of a light trip cord that can be activated up to 25 feet from the mine or remotely detonated by the user. Combine these features with its startling sound blast and the reality of a mined or booby-trapped environment takes on a whole new perspective.
Too much?
Gotta be more subtle Doc....in TX you can not intentionally set up booby traps--UNLESS you have, say, a rodent problem you were trying to get rid of--then just about anything goes!

I took an old shipping box we left in the apartment from when I had a breathing bag and some other stuff shipped to the apartment. I took an old bottle of Jack Daniels, took all the food coloring in a container and mixed it until it got a classic brown color and filled the container with water. I topped it off with a $7.99 bottle of Ipecac. The bottle had retained the classic jack smell and Ipecac has an alcoholic smell as well, quite the disguise.
I left the box downstairs. The perp stole my box, opened it and invited his roommates to a celebratory drink. Fearful that they had ingested something horrible, they ran to my room to find out what was in the bottle. (I guess when the fear of life or death takes over you ignore all consequences)
Now comes the interesting part of the story. The perp is RELATED to a tuba player at a major midwestern university. By related, I mean they are literally brothers. Not only that, but this brother posts on Tubenet. Small world, indeed.
Spoke with the St. Paul Police and they got a confession, some of my stuff back, and found remnants of boxes/mail/etc in his apartment that was mine.

VERY impressive. My hat is off to The Elephant and to you, for having the moxie to pull it off. You should bottle this as "Audition Juice", with a big "AJ" on the front of the bottle

Even the Tuba Brotherhood is not a perfect utopian organization/society. Sorry to hear the Tuba Brotherhood has some weak links in the chain. But I do hope the brother is a stand up sort of guy and will still be civil and courteous to you.
Beginning again to be a tuba player.

I meant more along the lines that you shouldn't judge people based upon their relatives. His brother is a great guy. A guy that I've never heard a bad word spoken of, an honest, hard working college kid.
