error or misprint or there is simply no provision for something
in the rules. At that point a house rule is called for. Sometimes
a group decides that it doesn't like the mecahnics of a card as
written, so they make a house rule to fix it. I try to avoid
those sorts of house rules since I figure the company has
play tested pretty extensively and things will tend (except in
rare cases) to work out.
Since many of the rules on your list areof the second category, I
won't comment on them, but here are a few comments.

Actually, I seem to recall reading that according to FASA the card
should read "Turn a runner to visit the Iron Lung ... "
>Electrified Fence
>
> The owner of the Challenge decides who is fried by the fence.
I don't have a FASA ruling on this, but that sounds wrong to me. Generally
the taget chooses who takes the damage.
I have also received the following rules clarifications directly
from FASA which can be added to the list:
Poison Gas
If any runners make it through the Poison Gas it should be trashed
even if not sleazed.
Security Camera + Blindsided
Jim N. and Mike N. are currently conferring on the question: What
happens if a player has placed a Security Camera on an objective
and then, due to the Blindsided stinger, must face his own
security camera. The current unofficial answer is that the camera
goes back in the player's hand and his opponent gets to replace it
with a challenge from his (the opponent's) hand. I'm waiting for
a final answer on this though.
Hope this helps,
