I find no ethical issues with this in particular, but there is an ethical issue that needs to be addressed with booby traps. should you ever find yourself in need of emergency services, people unfamiliar with your property will need to come on to it to assist you. this could include police responding to a break-in, or EMT's responding to a medical emergency, or the fire brigade preventing a fire on your property from spreading. there's also postal services.
By booby trapping your home, you put them all at risk. If you go about booby trapping your home, at least make sure everyone who enters your property knows that the property is dangerous.

Remember from the article, opening the front gate, which was decorated with a van covered in bear traps, launched a hot tub at the entrants.
If I opened a door leading into a SAW franchise set, and a giant piece of patio furniture was chucked at me from a pulley wire system leading from the gate... I'm going to assume that maybe, just maybe, this is not a friendly area.
Yeah, the type of guys like this only go with the ambulance by force and against thier own will. The kind of old men to call you to break them out of a hospital.
It's not always up to the property owner. in the case of wildfires, for instance, you might get people entering your property whether you called them or not.

Either that, or do it in such a way that you need to actively engage the traps. Ideally when you're expecting company.

fair, but people are dumbasses especially when they're feds. a simple sign saying
would have gone a long way.

Considering how happy any hospital would be to put me on a ventilator to receive that sweet, sweet Covid cash, I'm on his side now.

all well and good, but worthless unless people know. And in the case of wildfires, your status in the social contract is irrelevant
