Let me tell you what will happen if security bots become a thing.
It's going to be filled with the most malicious people possible, and there are going to be ones that "conveniently" say every round that they "hope nobody hacks the AI today, it would be bad if I had to murder people
". And every round it happens, they will take sadistic glee in stunning, handcuffing (zip tying, whatever), and dragging whatever poor bastards they catch out into space to die the most boring way possible. The smart ones will make sure to drag them out to space before putting on Zip Ties whenever possible, likely not even leave the immediate vicinity of a space lock, because it takes time for stunned people to get up, and it's more reliable for them to not rat you out by pulling them somewhere they can't breath than by hoping people don't see the green slurred speech of the "Roooogguguuueeeeee AaaaaaaaaIiiiiiiii" that they scream over the radio as often as possible.
They don't need to stun people with anything on their person either. Cyborgs can just walk around, "looking for work", and when they see a chance to drag you into the most unfun death they can while no one's looking, they'll take it. They can even just shock a really close door themselves, and you're done for the round.
That's not even getting into the ones that "conveniently" forget to check names to make sure they don't kill the one person that unwittingly caused the chaos in the first place, and god help you if the crusher is open, or if the Cyborgs start outnumbering people.
To keep it short, making competent security borgs is a bad idea.
