Was doing some training back in the day, and I took the time to pester a demo guy on the nature of some of the ways you can set things off. Never actually got the chance to set this up and have it go off, though not for the lack of effort finding an excuse. Set up along a trail: String a line of claymore's along the side, and totally conceal them from sight, and daisy chain them up: don't string a trip or anything else to them towards the trail itself. At the bend of the trail, about the distance from closest claymore should be about as far as you'd expect a patrol to hole up while someone fiddles with a trap at the bend (And the reason why you picked that section) set up another, this one getting a trip set up. Conceal it, but don't get anal. You want it found.. well, better to say you wouldn't mind. Go ahead, and if you have one, set a toe popper under it. Looks like a booby trap, andit is, but it is there to focus attention on this end of the trip. On the other end, attach a a push pull igniter, and attach the daisy chain to that. If they don't see the trip, all of the claymore's get set off. If they spie the trap, and disarm it baddly, the toepopper goes off, and sets off the claymores. If they cut the wire, or otherwise remove it, the claymores go off... either way, odds are, the claymores go off.

Of course, you can always set them off in other ways if you have some metal mesh, a few sheets of paper, and a good shot with a good rifle.
