I had a bit of an encounter with a fellow today who had several curious positions.
One of them was that I wasn't able to scan some items in his hold. I wasn't allowed to, for reasons he attempted to clarify.
I'm gonna stop you right there.
If I scan your ship and I see something... I can see it. It's there.
I am looking at it. With my eyes. It's right there.
If you want to have something in your hand, on your ship, in your fuel tank, in the drawer in your stateroom in quantities insufficient to impact my interaction with you or in some form which defies scanning... Don't put the commodity in your hold.
Because if I can see it, I'm going to assume I can see it. Because I can see it.
