Its impossible to tell the difference between (1) a friendly mine (or friendly bubble...etc.); or (2) Enemy mine/bubble/etc.
These things should have different colours: i.e. Alpha team is RED, Other team is Green.
EDIT: Don't forget thaose electric mines which are hardly hidden... just of unknown threat level (friendly/enemy)

Mines are already color coded. White is alright. Red is dead. Bubbles are a different story but a good indicator is if there is a group of enemy players standing inside.
