I think I posted something about this a week or so ago. "Indescriminate
weapons" are illegal, but with all the recent automated video
identification technology coming on tap its quite possible that an
automated threat assessment system could be created that had sufficient
descrimination to use force (even lethal force in the case of "hot
entries," especiall warrentless ninja jobs) and pass judicial muster.

No need to use anything lethal really - just a few gallons of sticky
foam and they're glued to the floor or the wall for a good long time.
Any partners you miss are not likely to stick around and unglue their
buddies. The pain of having to clean up your camp would be more than
made up for by having an intruder at your mercy. A Vivisection 101
opportunity for those so inclined.
More interesting though are methods for making your electronic systems
secure and detecting attempts to tamper with them.
