Why is it that everone forget the ultimate in mine triggers  "command
detonated" (A being with a button). It will go off when troops are in
range
with no warning. It can be put deep enough so no probe will detect it.
It
can be setup so that  a whole road section goes up with proper
seperation
(detonator cord between charges) for vehicle dispersal. The "Being" can
be
miles away or next to the mine with a hammer (Japanse WWII version).
The mine may even be set off  weeks after the target was "cleared".
