How to Security Officer 202?

[Roomba]

At this point, you're not acting on what happened or is happening, but what could happen. 
By all means take the precautions that you need to to protect the station and yourself, but don't punish people for things they haven't done yet. It's one thing to kill someone in the heat of a firefight, but if you've got the situation under your control then kill them you're doing wrong imo.

True, but that's hardly all going into a single Miranda Recital.
But yes, Grek is on point on the right way to talk to the public.

I'm reminded of a story in one of the SA threads about the days of yore. Back in the day security would begin the round by demanding that everyone turn their PDAs in so that nobody could order traitor items. People eventually got around this by hiding their PDAs in the opening minutes of the round and retrieving them later, and sec responded by permabrigging anyone with their PDA on them at the five minute mark. This escalated until admins realized this wasn't very much fun.

If you see absolutely nothing wrong with the above scenario, security might not be for you.
