Actually, it was the "infinite guitar," and was built by experimental guitarist Michael Brook. It has been used by the Edge, notably on "The Joshua Tree," but not by Fripp or Eno as far as I'm aware. For more on Brook, his music and his instrumentation, check out http://the-fringe.com/brook/. Fripp gets his sound by just using a lot of effects and over-the-counter guitar synths. His set-up is detailed at http://www.elephant-talk.com. You can get a similar Frippish, Brookesque synthesizer-like infinite sustain sound by just using a $80-$120 device called an Ebow: http://www.ebow.com.

I'm thinking it's > just Hollywood stupidity. Well, I'm no expert, but from what I've read this is accurate. Mines are indeed sometimes dropped from aircraft, or even scattered in special artillery shells, so of course they wind up on the surface of the ground. Ground troops may also lay mines on the surface instead of burying them, especially if they're in a hurry. Though it might seem stupid, they can still be effective from a military point of view. A mine on the surface can still be hard to see, especially to someone driving cross-country. And even if the enemy can see and avoid mines, they'll have to avoid them by going someplace else, or at least driving slowly, so surface mines can be used to keep the enemy away from someplace you don't want them to go. Now, if you want a real example of Hollywood stupidity, I'd nominate the section at the very end, where they show you what happens to the main characters in the future. IMHO it would have been much better if they had ended on an uncertain, if hopeful, note. The Boogie Nights reference was nice though.
