Allow sec tokens to be bought from the vendor

Not sure if my opinion might be skewed but as an antag it is really easy to just load yourself up with 103 - 180 Clocks; grenades, lots of phasers and a security token or a fucking dozen of em.

When playing Security you can also just follow your tools with your tool tracker - make sure wherever they are; who might have stolen them and so on.
Currently we have a pretty neat quality of life I reckon.
If you are lucky Mechanics have already built a teleporter system around the station and your trip to QM can be shortened down to one minute or less.

I do not believe it is difficult at all - nor has it anymore hard requirements; in fact you can get a lot more sec gear and other stuff right of the bat. Order some crates; then enjoy.

It is a different approach but not difficult. There is a potential to abuse it though so that you can have ridicolous amounts of gear: lethal and non-lethal.
That's a pretty easy method to, without any checks or really notifications aside from QMs getting a message they ordered stuff, order a bunch of security gear. Why not add in a method with the same/more preparations that alerts security?

With a change like this you could still stroll down to QM and buy 20 crates with clocks and tokens. Or if you're a security officer who had their entire belt stolen and their tracker with it you could go to the HoP, ask for a transfer of X credits to your account, purchase a token through the vendor and let everyone know you bought the security token.

If someone right now wanted to flood the station with security gear they would have to transfer the entire payroll, or use some other means to obtain a bunch of credits, and order tons of crates, then redeem the tokens.

I just feel this isn't making security equipment super easy to buy. In fact, it's slightly more difficult for even a secoff to obtain the funds to purchase a token. It just adds a secondary way for people to buy the gear.
