on anyone attempting to climb through and therefore have a strong psychological
deterrenteffect. In many high-security applications, barbed tape supplanted

tools, while penetrating razor wire barriers without tools is very slow and
difficult, giving security forces more time to respond. Razor wire contains a
core hardened steel strip that is often under tension, so if cut, the recoil
could cause the wire to unfurl and lash out, striking the cutter
