If you get arrested with unused mindhacks in your inventory and they get confiscated, that's a consequence of your decisions.
If you get disarmed while holding one and the person retaliates by picking it up and using in you, that's also a consequence of your decisions.
At the end of the day this feels like a guardrail against scenarios that are both entirely preventable with smart antagonist play and intrude on player agency. If someone is abusing mindhacks by collecting them for use on people other than the attempted mindhacker that's potentially more of a player issue that should be handled through adjudication of the game's rules. But I also can't recall any specific instances of that happening, even if I'm sure it probably has at some point.
