Either give it a cooldown but with no chance to burn out, or just pop a handheld flasher in to replace it
I feel like it doesn't need a cooldown.
Lets say a would be assailant disarms you.
If your ID is in the sec PDA, you've now lost your PDA, and your ID, which is on you.
If you lose your PDA, now they can run around flashing people and texting boom messages under your name.
Also, having the flasher on should disable the fingerprint scanner, and having the fingerprint scanner should disable the flasher. That way the PDA is still sorta useful for gathering evidence.
On that note I sorta wish that the finger print scanner added the scanned evidence to the PDA notes.
edit: If you want to go full surveillance state, scanning prints on contraband should automatically flag the owner of said prints for contraband possession in PDAs. This will make everyone hate you if they're just returning a stun baton or bringing something to evidence, but security officers should probably be checking the profiles for that info anyway.
