Redstone, as most of you know, is used to detonate TNT since one of the later patches. I'm assuming that redstone dust was removed from the list of "placeable items" near spawn. However, if this is the case, I would not only recommend adding redstone to the list of "placeable items" near spawn, but I would also like to point out the pros and cons to the suggestion:

Pros:
- Ability to finally control pistons w/ activation tools (buttons, levers, etc) from a distance
- Numerous scenarios of grief prevention (i.e. Closing a door from a distance)
- Implement attractions with redstone (ex: a redstone disco

http://*/pr1pVY)

Cons:
- Extreme overusage resulting in lag among many users (I'm sure a limit or something to prevent this could work)
- Possible grief method with pistons or traps

Either way, I am really suggesting a consideration of this to be implemented. Also, I would really enjoy listening to others' comments/suggestions on this topic.

Thanks for reading!

I do not think traps should be a problem. The only place I would put a trap is a place that nobody but me should be... of course the public would have to be warned.
