I "once" suggested this as well.. the DIFFERENCE was... this wasn't a scanner you can use on your hand.. but a pod or stationary device in security itself.
Where you put the suspect in to detect any contraband on their person (cept if it's hidden in clothes and such) and allow the pod to extract the contraband without doing the whole strip search.
Your idea will just force security to once in a while do a pad down scan... and we don't want it.
Cause it will result into this:
- Can we scan you real quick?
Says no. gets arrested for not doing a search or harrased till they say yes.
Says yes. Has to stop doing things for 7 seconds to deal with security.. get caught with contraband and arrested or nothing happens and it was a waste of time for both sides.
So I am with Cal to not give a "hand scanner" to do this.
If anything it should be a stationary device in security and it would only remove the annoyance of stripping down players thus stream lining the get into the brig part faster.
I do agree that pad downs could be fun for RP, but for Classic it's just a hassle and I wouldn't be surprised security is gonna smack anyone they suspect with contraband to scan em and let them go at the worst of things....
But... forcing it like this ain't fun.. and ways to avoid scanners would be neat... or better yet... ways to make scanners go haywire that isn't EMAGs. Like giving false alerts.
Anyway... that's all. Not a bad idea on paper, but HORRIBLE in execution due to the ramifications.
