NVA/VC Booby Traps - General Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The use of booby traps also had a long-lasting psychological impact on Marines and soldiers and helped to further alienate them from civilian populations that could not be distinguished from combatants. Antipersonnel booby traps were concentrated in helicopter landing zones, narrow passages, paddy dikes, tree and fence lines, trail junctions, and other commonly traveled routes. However, a booby trap for helicopters consisted of wires connected to grenades atop posts at the edge of the LZ at a height to inflict blast and splinter damage on the debussing troops and splinter damage on the helicopters themselves, with the rotors being particularly vulnerable. www.gruntonline.com /NVAandVC/boobytraps1.htm   (2225 words)

booby traps   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Australian soldiers on patrol were trained to look for anything that might indicate the presence of a hidden mine or booby trap near by disturbed foliage, an unnatural arrailgement of sticks or stones, and any wires, rope, string or vines that could spring a trap or trigger an explosion. In the angled arrow trap, a piece of bamboo about a metre long was fastened to a piece of board; inside the bamboo a steel arrow was held ready to fire by a strong rubber band and a catch mechanism connected to a trip-wire. The whip was a trap made from a strong piece of green bamboo with sjarp spikes attached to it which was attached to a tree or post and bent in a arc around other posts and held by a catch in the firing position. www.hotkey.net.au /~marshalle/booby/booby.htm   (583 words)

Straight Dope Staff Report: What's the origin of "booby trap"?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The most likely is that the first booby hatches were wooden hoods over a hatch on a sailing ship in the 1800s--a small compartment near the bow of the ship. It is also possible that the aforementioned dimwitted bird called the booby was caught by sailors and confined in a small hooded coup called a hutch, a word easily corrupted to hatch. And, finally, a booby hutch was a kind of carriage on sled runners in the 1760s, and a booby hatch may have started as a police wagon used to carry away criminals (some of whom were doubtless mental). www.straightdope.com /mailbag/mbooby.html   (741 words)
