Diplomatic Immunity Suitcase

I suggest a storage item similar to the real life diplomatic bags. Diplomatic Bags bypass any searches that may be conducted. Most commonly used for any sensitive items to bypass airline searches. The diplomatic bag 

 

Why

I think it would be beneficial for Representatives and Consular Officers to have a special container that they could put interviews in, pictures, and other paperwork they may have secretly acquired, created or otherwise. It would be the same size as a briefcase and it'll be a rather cool thing for them to have. Something to fuck with them and steal if you really care enough. It would use the Rep ID access to open and may fall under grand theft if stolen*. If approved by the captain, the protections of the diplomatic briefcase fails. Otherwise, if the suitcase is searched unauthorized, it would be Violation of Privacy laws for a 500 credit fine. I feel like this would be better then a secure briefcase because it is something unique to the Consulars and Representatives. It would spawn with them instead of a regular suitcase. I already completed the object sprites. If this gets traction, I'll do the directional sprites as well.

 

*up to debate

I like it. It being mechanically impossible to open by anyone but a cap would be cool.

I don't think it'll be impossible. It'll use rep station access. It is just impossible to open without their ID. Searching it without prior consent may be grounds for a five hundred credit fine. I understand the issues that may arise from this. This idea of only the rep and cap level access could be debated as well. Perhaps a pincode to unlock normally and something like vault access required to unlock with an ID?

I'd hope it can be hacked open as easily as any other Secure Briefcase, that is to say, with a multitool.

My point remains. Let it be hackable with semi-common tools for those who seek illicit access.

I didn't say anything prior because honestly I had very null feelings on it, but I am not sure why this should be a thing? The secure briefcase is a loadout item IIRC, so why should they get a special one? Searching a rep is already a big no-no without Captain level authority.
