Serves You Right, Twit

Booby traps are so named for the idea that a foolish person, or boob, will set them off. Since these traps are by nature difficult to spot and easy to set off, it hardly seems fair to question the victim's intelligence.

Somewhat related: a literal booby trap would be a devestating blow to breast-loving armies of the world.
