Right now, using the portabrig against a competent traitor or ling is asking to die. The portabrig, even when in motion, keeps the prisoner in a state of non-movement, meaning they can remove their cuffs while in transit. And even if they are cuffed, upon exiting the brig, they can run around like a madman, forcing you to commit to another round of annoying combat in the security room.
I recall one time I portabrig'd a vampire Jay Wolff and knew I was doomed. I called the detective for help, and we created a corridor out of lockers to funnel him upon his portabrig exit. I'm pretty sure he still got away.
I think the portabrig should simply be better. People shouldn't be able to remove their cuffs while inside, and when exiting the brig, the mechanism should throw you out so you receive a knockdown stun. Additionally, the brig should have a medical interface. I have died countless times inside the brig, while security has gloated at my situation, only to eventually wonder why I stopped responding. This addition could maybe even let us extract blood to test for a ling, though this could be overpowered.
In the end, right now, it is far better to stun the suspect, drag him to a security checkpoint while bashing him with your stun baton over and over, and completely strip him or perform a blood test. Any pause in the stun will lead to your doom, and the portabrig only serves to act as that pause.
