Including AHDs and what not?  Not my particular piece of pie.  Go for 
it.  Just warn me so I'm out of blast radius.  Playing games with 
foreign mines that might be boobytrapped or worse is not my idea of 
fun.

Reminds me of the first US casualty in Bosnia.	This was an E-7, so he 
should have known better.  Tried to disarm a mine with a Leatherman.  
They found it embedded in his skull.  In my book, he deserves it for 
gross stupidity.
