Obviously the outcome the greenies want is to stop logging but there are alternatives. It can't be that hard to detect whether there is a piece of metal in a tree, after all airports routinely detect metal on people.
It's a bit rich to be shifting the blame to logging management when logging management should not have to worry the trees being spiked. The protestors shouldn't be spiking the trees in the first place as the intent is to cause damage or injury.
