Title says it all. I'd like to suggest that Security Assistants be allowed to roll antagonist roles.
Right now, the Detective can already roll antag with a gun, and they have significantly more autonomy and firepower with their .38 special. Meanwhile, secass is intentionally weaker: no stun (except the flash!), no full access, no real authority... basically a glorified staffie in red.
Allowing them to roll antag would open up more interesting RP and gimmick opportunities without significantly upsetting balance. Since secass has fewer tools and lower impact than most other security roles, the risk of abuse seems minimal. If anything, giving them antag potential might make the role more appealing and lead to more creative antagonist rounds.
I get that security roles rolling antag can be touchy, but considering the precedent set by the detective, I think it's reasonable to extend that privilege to secass, especially given how limited they already are.
Curious to hear what others think!
