Cogmap 2: *** UPDATE TO BYOND 509 ASAP ***

[Sundance]

There would also need to be an alert on the brig chutes like there is on the morgue chutes to let security members know when they're used.

There already is.

I suppose, but then that makes returning items that you don't want them to have in the main brig harder.

Maybe if there was some kind of filter for Sec chutes that let people slide through, but collected loose items and deposited them into outside the cells or into secure crates.

Again not necessary. The idea of the suggestion is to improve security efficiency while also making the brig somewhat exploitable. If you've confiscated any items that need returning afterwards, then you should head back to the brig, it would be much easier to do when you're not hauling ass, while the person is actually in the brig and not being dragged about like a jackass.
Not only is it not necessary but if there's any filter that goes into the brig, then it would defeat the second half of the purpose of people being able to smuggle stuff into the brig. An alert that the brig chute was used can be easily overlooked (which is a good thing for a smuggler)
