 Has anyone ever strapped a Command Detonated Mine onto a randomly

The US army was working on an idea of bouncing mines, ones that would
bound

 Didn't the US Navy use dolphins for a similar purpose in the 50s,
 or is that just anti-US apocrypha?

They used Dolphins for placing mines on ships and as recon units.

 Aside from the obvious ethical issues, wouldn't this be a handy
 way to send someone a nice surprise? I can see human beings doing
 this to non-indigenous life forms with nary a quibble.
 
 What about KV prisoner exchanges with subcutaneous CDMs? Or even
 nukes?

I don't think that HQ would like that, if any more people got taken
