All above right... good job future Chuck!!
I BIP with C-4 bent into a "C" shape as to bridge the mine over the top, I used more C-4 for some bulk explosive items in the room.
PMNs were placed trying to "trip" us up or local (HN) forces upon entering buildings.
Hotshot - As far as the moving..DON"T!! Its best to BIP everything. If U think or know that munitions or mines has some type of AHD or BT why would U have a local move it?? U have to work within the area and U telling a local to move something to end up with a hand missing or even an arm.... think about your action and the impact they have on your team and the local option. Why make a HN Solider do it, then U have to deal with treating them and MEDEVACing them, usually an hour wait time. Its a double edge sword and a thin line to walk.
No AHD as far as movement on the PMA, but a AHD as far a disarming. once armed you must blow in place. Just like the Yugo PMA (AP Mine), its all in the Fuse.

Since an opinion has already been rendered, as far as moving it goes, I do not think that it was emplaced on that stack of bags, so I suspect that someone has already moved it.
An anti-handling device would appear to be unlikely in that location, but in the ground, I would be highly suspect and would look to BIP.

Very true TR.. They were found in the doorway into a "home", no it wasn't moved it. They were covered by some fabric on top of the bags, another mine was on the other side of the bags and fabrics. As to "catch" someone stepping over the bags. Tricky little bas&^%$!!
