Re: [TCML] Non-lethal use of a Tesla Coil in security

Not practical at all.

If you employ this system you will definitely be sued if anyone is injured
in any way.  This goes back to the old "shotgun on a tripwire" scenario that
was outlawed back in the 1940s.  A lot of previous case histories on this
"shotgun type" setup.

Even if you should survive the lawsuit, you will end up paying a good trial
defense lawyer a lot of money.
