just lmao at all the people who are either getting mad at me over something I'm not even sure if I do or are defending some friendless nerd.
on topic:
1)Why does a peaceful research station need security at all? Maybe a detective to prevent corporate espionage and some just in-case equipment.
2)You say paranoid like its a bad thing.
3)On rounds with no security, the game didn't turn into lord of the flies. A purely anecdotal observation that you could probably replicate reliably. The majority of people who play the game seem to be so wrapped up in doing their mundane and meaningless jobs that they don't care about antagonists. That isn't a exactly a bad thing because vigilantes are the worst(I'm so glad the phaser and orange glasses got removed).

Securities main job is to try to handle problems on the station, that means dealing with people and being somewhat reasonable, not being super cop because there might be a traitor/changeling/wizard loose, If security were supposed to be the station army, they wouldn't be wearing the color of cannon fodder, they'd be decked out in full black and have full suits of armor and lots of guns.
