what if it's not a razor blade but something harmless but horrible like glitter?

not legal advice - That is probably fine. As long as it is not reasonably foreseeable to cause bodily harm or emotional distress. Better off not testing that line though.

What about Mark Rober's anti-porch-pirate glitter bombs? Could those be considered to cause emotional distress to the thieves?

I'm just curious where the line is...

He talked about consulting with lawyers and he worked with the police to some degree when he built those.
