Especially interesting to me is the foam, security ATM has a big issue with "locking down areas", whenever stuff happens and you need to make someone does not go to a specific place, all security has are shields which are easily broken and circumvented. This is useful for locking down areas temporarily, such as AI upload, crime scenes or breaches when you don't want anyone to come in and mess with stuff or cause more problems.
I always thought it would be cool if the barriers didnt insta break when you walked into them
The issue with buffing barriers means that you are inadvertently buffing Security Assistants (the horror).
After giving it some thought though, I don't think that's a bad idea. Barriers don't allow you to do much other than stand, so this could be a great way for antags to steal a barrier and lock down a location and actually get the chance to engage in RP without having to fear security shooting them down. They also can't cause havoc by just "standing in a place".
