I like the flashers personally, not having to deal with as many wily assistants with my terrible aim is nice. They're easy enough to disable anyway.
Riot launchers are more annoying, given that there really isn't any good situations that a big fucking cloud of smoke helps security. Antags are almost always solo forces, so the smoke just obscures sec from each other and raises chaos. That said, they are still important to keep available precisely for traitors who want to launch HE grenades around. Stuffing them in the armory doesn't feel like a good solution.
Perhaps removing the smoke grenades and replacing them with some other ammo types is the better option. Glue grenades that make sticky floors or bind up targets. Dye grenades for indelibly marking targets. Fireworks grenades for celebrating a crimer receiving just punishment. Magnet grenades for immobilizing rogue borgs or something. Sec could always stand to be more fun.
