This happened in the town next to mine. Makes me wonder how one is expected to react when the door comes in and someone yells police

I wonder though, what kind of breaching tools does the general public have access to? Is it reasonable to think that these sorts of people might be well equipped to quickly force their way through a door? I'm talking about the type of equipment SWAT teams have, not crowbars and the like.

Any booby trap that has the potential to do serious injury is almost certainly illegal. Definitely in TX anyway.You know you could always set up some kind of booby trap.
No, but it may make enough noise to alert the neighbors (which might cause the intruders to flee) and it might allow others in the house to get to safety. Getting taken prisoner in your own house has got to be at the bottom of the list for positive outcomes. (In case it's not apparent, I'm responding in light of the title which is "FAKE cop...")A firefight in your own home with multiple gunmen is not a recipe for survival.
