🧨⚡️⚡️🔎 AOC misreading of Bobby trap laws

The prohibition on the use of booby traps and similar devices is critical in military regulations, particularly those outlined in the DOD manual. These laws explicitly ban the creation and deployment of portable objects designed to contain explosives, especially if they resemble harmless items like toys or personal electronics. The intent behind this prohibition is to prevent civilian casualties, particularly among children, by avoiding the proliferation of seemingly innocuous objects that could attract unsuspecting individuals. Historical examples, such as the tactics used by the Soviet army during the Afghan war, underscore the devastating impact of such practices, which led to significant civilian harm. This legal framework serves as a vital safeguard against the potential misuse of technology and objects in warfare to protect civilian populations.
