I've always wondered if it's possible to use a very powerful magnet to
remove nails from lumber? I'm sure that the magnet would have to be a
really strong electro-magnet, such as the ones they use to lift cars
at auto junkyards.

However, if this is possible, it may not be something that should be
exposed to the public, because it could become a weapon. In other
words, someone drives up to your home, activates the magnet, which
removes all the nails as well as steel plumbing, metal electrical
boxes, your appliances, and so on. This, in a matter of seconds,
your home would be nothing but a pile of lumber, with all your
(non-iron) furnishings buried in the pile, and all your iron metalic
furnishings as well as all the nails from your home, leaving the
scene by some crook.....

And, dont forget, your belt buckle is metal. Say goodbye to your
pants!!!

I may have read posts more inane than the above but if so, not in recent
years.
