Yup. And Cooper is so paranoid about the traps that when Scully goes in
there and starts sniffing around, he gets all flat-eared and tuck-tailed
and squinty-eyed and flinch-y, like you do when somebody starts
squeezing a balloon, and you *know* it's going to pop, you just don't
know when.

She hasn't set one off yet, but Cooper is quite certain that it's only a
matter of time...
