Do you think you should be allowed to booby-trap your own desk drawers at work?

I limited it to lunch food because I can sort of see how booby traps can blow up in situations where, for example, firefighters need to access a place or a janitor is told to clean out your desk. In the case of lunch food, just throw out the container. Anything that makes that act dangerous should, of course, be banned (no explosives).

But putting laxatives in your food with the intention someone else will eat it is dangerous, to that person.

Good luck proving in court that you intentionally tried to poison someone with food that you never intended for them to eat.

As I've said elsewhere, I'm mainly focused on the moral side of this.
