Catching a Polygonal Fish with a Minimum Net

Given a polygon $P$ in the plane that can be translated, rotated and enlarged arbitrarily inside a unit square, the goal is to find a set of lines such that at least one of them always hits $P$ and the number of lines is minimized. We prove the solution is always a regular grid or a set of equidistant parallel lines, whose distance depends on $P$.
