I can understand if someone is being too strict by busting in and killing you 5 minutes in when they see you buying traitor items with thermals but after 15-20 minutes anyone caught with traitor items should be fair game.Why kill them? What are you trying to accomplish by brigging them that can't be accomplished just as well by brigging them and confiscatong their contraband? Security has so many ways to stun or incapacitate people that you really have to go out of your way to kill them, which makes me wonder about the motivations of the people so dedicated to killing - are you just looking for any excuse to carry out a murder that won't get you in trouble? I understand being extra-lethal toward changelings since they're never safe to be around till they've been gibbed, but a wizard or traitor can easily be rendered basically harmless.
I don't exclusively kill the traitors I capture, but I don't think there's anything wrong with people who decide to do that. My point wasn't so much that people should not be mad for killing traitors, but they shouldn't be mad at people who actually go after traitors and try to catch/stop them.
