Airlock Internal ID Logs

[Kane]

After reading the_furry's security reports for their character, and reading a post by TishinaStalker, I thought, "Wouldn't it make sense if the investigations team could check the airlock's access controller unit, and check to see whose ID had accessed it, and check probably a time stamp?", after they had mentioned that Nanotrasen would probably do it themselves. It may be difficult to implement, cause lag, or just end up not being fun, its just a suggestion, and one that could be used for framing others. Also, some kind of electrical skill, or a device to interface with the airlock may be useful, instead of making the airlock itself the object actually reading out the data.

Actually, when I mentioned that I meant for the Odin, but this would make for a wonderful way for antagonists to have an easier time framing people, and could lead to more conflict through sabotage as well as an additional benefit for get a syndie ID from the uplink.

You already leave fingerprints on a door if you try and open it, or glove and clothes fibres.

Yes, that is true, but I believe the addition of internal ID logs would add another layer of depth. What happens when you find black glove + hydroponicist uniform fibers on a door, but the log says that a Roboticist accessed the door? Are the fibers more correct? Was it really a roboticist? More doubt is casted on the evidence gathered, requiring more extensive thought and critical thinking for a Detective and Forensic Technician to crack the case; which I believe would make it more enjoyable for the two of them. The FT gathers evidence, as usual, and gets to check the ID logs with head of staff permission (because the terminal for this could be on the Bridge). Then the Detective has more people to question rather than just a single person (which we all most of the time know is the antagonist) because that single person keeps getting pressed until there's a guilty. When there's additional suspects (as nobody ever thinks to change their clothes before committing a crime) it gives the antagonist an additional shroud to throw over to give them a chance if they were smart enough to use an Agent ID.
