"Armoury gear" in the case of cargo only extends to phasers (which are pretty trash) and flamethrowers/flare guns, all of these weapons are easy to get elsewhere and really aren't that impactful. I personally believe that the pricing of sec crates could be increased by quite a bit, especially the token crate. The merchant in the diner only sells you an armour vest+ for sec stuff so I'm not sure what you're talking about there.
I don't understand your second point, it looks like you're saying promoting grief is good and it isn't. Brains can be farmed from monkeys and other mobs like chickens so cargo almost never uses human brains. Forcing people into furnaces is only used by antags or validhunters and requires a lot of effort and planning for minimal gain and if you're saying this tells engis to force people into furnaces for more power it doesn't, not many people would look at a furnace and think "Oh I shove people into this." (hopefully) instead they would probably look at the crate of coal and think to put that inside and turn it on when the green light pops up.
The examples you detailed are both flawed and not on the same level, they require a lot of planning thought and a big time investment while your proposed cargo trader would see QMs grief sec, run to cargo and sell gear for a couple thousand which makes the officer's round way worse. Oh, and guess what? This just won't happen, batons are incredibly powerful and noone would sell them unless you scanned them with mechcomp and are mass producing them. This last point brings even questions into the mix as batons are pretty easy to fabricate and if you set the buy price to something like 5k or hell even 2k you have a really really really good infinite money making strat.
