Apart from the inconvenience of the OP specifying that the answer has 8 letters and your suggestion has 7 letters, and that Pearlylustre already answered the question with 'tripwire' does it concern you that your answer doesn't have a cryptic cruciverbalist connotation?
thank you all for your help, can I impose again on another 8 questions PLEASE.
