Security Officers can't unlock weapon lockboxes
Created by: Probe1
naturally they just break them open because that's retarded and no one is going to tell sec no, you can't have guns. it should open for weapon permit and not whatever it is now.
Adding on a bit to this - I don't know what the discussion or thoughts on setting the access requirement were. But they aren't realistic. Security is going to get guns. They're carrying tasers at least. And they can easily break open the lockboxes.
So can anyone on the station but the issues with laser tag guns and floral somatories are for a different Issue.
As it stands, lockboxes withhold weapons from people authorized to carry weapons. This creates an environment where no one takes a lockbox seriously and will quickly acquire something to break it open so they can get the weapon. Other sec officers aren't going to arrest them. The HoS and all but the most anal retentive Warden won't care.
The lockboxes are a stick in the mud that gets pulled out and tossed aside. Whatever the logic was behind making security officers unable to open the lockboxes, it was faulty. It does not work in game when players will readily go around it without any qualms.
