So this takes some effort to exploit but I guess it could be done. Examples: Use show held item on a gun before giving it to someone, now you can remotely examine it from anywhere and know how many bullets it has left. Use held item on someone's jumpsuit, now you can remotely tell if their suit sensors are ever disabled, or if it ever becomes bloodstained Etc etc
