Booby traps

[CHERDE]

B 28.9

The rule says that Infantry immune to PTC must roll their PTC for booby trap purpose.
Does that mean that the following units have to roll PTC:

enemy units held as prisoner (next to last sentence B 28.9)

Heroes

Berserkers

Fanatics

Units in Melee
?

There is an unofficial old Q&A on this topic:

B28.9 Does normally immune Infantry (e.g., broken, pinned, heroic, etc.) still take PTC when Booby Traps are in effect?
A. Yes. [Compil9]

So according to this, all units that cannot become Pinned must take the PTC - even already Pinned units.

Do prisoners then trigger Bobby traps?
next to last sentence in B 28.9 maybe says no.

What if they are singled out by RS as the victim of a Bobby trap which another unit triggered? Can prosoners in this way save the captors units from the harm of Casualty Reduction?

I looked into this extensively before playing my last campaign game of Red Barricades. All enemy units take the PTC but all units in the hex are included in the random selection.

B 28.9 Bobby traps

To make sure that I understand You - Jack - right:

the prisoners can not trigger the Bobby traps but they can suffer their effects (=CR)
