(Please note that I haven't played sec in a while, so my experiences aren't the most up-to-date)
I understand the intent behind the PR, but I don't think it'd change all that much.
Those who like the HUD button could just keep the crisis alert program open at all times (which I fear could become a new meta), essentially doing the same as with the current button.
The emergency button idea sounds cool, but I think sec officers already have enough items to manage. Altough I mostly agree with this PR, I'd much prefer mind a middle ground between a one-click-away HUD button and hasty PDA using.
Also, generally, if someone kills/magdumps you faster than you can really respond properly, that's, in my opinion, a matter of escalation (or lack thereof).
Since security and balance changes reach very far into the game's flow, I'm also for a testmerge.
I could see this change being beneficial for inexperienced/quiet RP antags, who usually avoid direct sec confrontation due to not wanting to be caught right away. This might lead to more direct sec/antag interaction as well, rather than chasing after silent murderers.
TL;DR:
Yea sure, let's TM it.
