Cutting the ID wire on a door is a lot more harmful and difficult to repair when compared to an unpowered+crowbar'd door. However most players are incentivized to the former because it does not electrocute you, and hence you do not need to get insulated gloves. However an unfortunate side effect is that a lot of non-antags will very often hack department doors and cut the ID wire, whether it be security, botany, chemistry, or frankly any door standing in their path, and I wouldn't have a problem with this if they fixed the door, but most of them remain broken. This get's particularly annoying for security departments. It also doesn't make sense that cutting the ID wire on a door would not electrocute you, it should have the same treatment as any other kind of hacking would give you.
