Booby-trapping civilian items goes a bit too far.

They're devices used by Hezbollah, which by definition means they're used by and for terrorists. Anything goes in that space.

It was clever, but the possibility for something like one being aboard an airliner should have given them pause.

Possibly. How do you know those devices weren't bugged in other ways? Such as, say, activating GPS receivers to send out meta data on demand? Meta data like...how fast is this device moving?

You then look at a list of numbers moving at 200 knots and don't call those up.

Also, the situation is not as dire as you portray. They are not "fighting for their lives".

If Mexico were lobbing dozens of rockets into Phoenix and Tuscon every day you'd think about it a little differently.
