To get your own back on real-life spammers, post all the junk that comes to your door (newspapers, pizza menus etc.) back to the junk mailers in their pre-paid envelopes. At the other end, they need to employ someone to deal with the junk back, and it will have cost them for the use of the pre-paid envelope.
There is a lot of talk on here about safety, and I'm not doubting this is dangerous, but Jon's a mate so I would like to vouch for his skills. He does do stuff like this safely and has an incredible grasp of electronics, computing and welding (those 3 go hand-in-hand so well). Jon's currently at Bristol Uni (in the UK) and has an excellent science background. This mod has been done with a full knowledge of all pitfalls and dangers taken into account, but obviously this doesn't mean that someone with not such 1337 skills won't try and copy Jon's article, and hurt themselves.
