Probably make you put in a second exit, etc (if they didn't shoot the whole idea down as being in violation of some ordinance )

The Biohazard sign is cool, but, there are plenty of laws regarding cleanup, transport and disposal of biohazardous waste. If for some reason the authorities did come to your property, you could possibly be financially responsible for any additional equipment they bring. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I also was told that once a properly packaged container has been labeled "HAZARDOUS WASTE", the only way to open it is by court order. Doesn't matter if you packed it, once its sealed, it cannot be opened, only disposed of (usually in a medical waste incinerator).

Maybe add some signs that say "PHOTOGRAPHY PROHIBITED BEYOND THIS POINT. DEADLY FORCE AUTHORIZED". I really have no idea on the legalities of this, but deadly force is authorized under certain life threating circumstances in every state. Maybe they'll assume that you'll shoot them on sight! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I've seen other signs that put up the statue for tresspassing, and when worded the right way, makes it look "scary" and "serious". A little yellow "no tresspassing" sign isn't as intimidating as seeing something like "TRESSPASSING ON THIS INSTALLATION IS PROHIBITED UNDER F.S. 810.09(1)(a). DETAINMENT AND/OR DEADLY FORCE AUTHORIZED UNDER F.S. 810.09(2)(c) and F.S. 776.012. MONITORING AND RECORDING DEVICES IN USE". The 776.012 is the vanilla deadly force to protect yourself in Florida. Nothing special. If you're not there, then it doesn't apply! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I still think the quarantine sign is best!

I had an instructor that used to do a lot of field work and monitoring for OSHA matters. This usually meant leaving very expensive equipment behind to check air quality, toxicity, etc.

His solution was to put "Danger! High Voltage!" signs on everything. Apparently that cured the vandalism and prying eyes.

My impression is discretion is the better part of valor, or in this case keeping what you want hidden hidden. Don't advertise. If possible, conceal it (like the Mountain men did).

Perhaps the best cache is a hermetically sealed container setting at the bottom of the middle of a cesspool. Yeah, retrieval might be a bit rough, but no one's even gonna think of looking there.
