1. You'd obviously need tools and a lot of care to deploy it (it's a 
risk). It might hack you up just as easily during deployment (anybody 
who's laid concertina knows you can write off gloves and boots easy 
with wire). 
2. If you have those tools, presumably sweeping tools exist (maybe 
harnessing electromagnetic or gravitic forces). 
3. It might be expensive, and hence not deployed on frontiers. (Or 
maybe not).
