This issue with sec is not a lack of things to do or mechanics making the role unfun.
The issue is a community issue which makes anyone playing security attract a flock of shitheads who will literally sacrifice entire rounds just to bother security and make playing them an exercise in frustration rather than protecting anyone. Part of this comes from the fact there's no truly lasting consequence security can force on a shitter besides death, and applying murder to the problem tends to be extremely looked down upon by higher powers. You can do literally anything a security officer can do, but without the psychological target being applied to you, as any other job.
The only ways I could forsee to fix this is A. A community shift similar to attitude toward AI aka quit being shit. (unlikely) B. Give security some way to inflict lasting and meaningful consequences that aren't murder on someone that will prevent them from making themselves an issue. C. Don't give security a non-lethal consequence, give them a lot more leeway to smash the skulls of any idiot who tries to break into sec and fuck with sec constantly untill people get the memo.
