Posted by DescentOnARope Wow... I imagine if that injured you you'd have a legal case even if you were trespassing. Did you turn them up or move them? Were there more?

Not sure if the trespassing would negate it, but booby traps are illegal in the US. This is mostly because booby traps by nature are an indiscriminate weapon. It's the same reason you can't rig a punji pit under the welcome mat, or turn your front lawn into a minefield. Weapons were you can't be selective about who they harm are very much frowned upon by the legal system.
