Sounds like somebody has memorized the Ranger handbook!
They don't really trust us grunts to use live claymores. Even though we use training ones all the time, I've only seen a live one go off in OSUT.
Back in the 60's and 70's we'd use live claymores all the time. Probably the safety ***** are too concerned someone might not understand the difference between front and back.

My home is my castle - I don't have a moat or snakes - too cold here for that - snakes don't like 10-15 below zero - but I might still surprise you if you wandered in with ill intent.

Not like it's marked on the claymore or anything!! It's cost really. It's not convenient for a mech unit to train us light guys with live demo, when they would rather spend 30mil$ on bradleys and whatever the Abrams cost, to shoot gunnery and the cost to fix them afterwards.

You probably don't want an admin type to handle a claymore because of this:
They would argue that which side is the front has not been marked, and assume that the instructions are written on the back of it...
They likely would also not realize (and don't ask how an IMA navy electronics tweet knows this) that a claymore is also dangerous out to 100 feet behind it, depending on how it is situated.
