How often do you all slave these types of devices to a Host? I have a Techno that wants to hack these devices on the fly as they check other players to get them by without a hassle. I understand the rules on them (Device Rating x 2 vs SiN or threshold of ware). But the question is how often would these devices be slaved to a Host or similar (comlink, whatever for Firewall). Example locations would be security checkpoints for access to a neighborhood, business, hotel... Random Lonestar officer pulling you over and checking your ID... Pro's and Con's of slaving are the usual, every slaved device is one more way for hackers to enter a host, but Hosts generally have better firewall and offer hacking defenses... Would an upscale hotel just rely on a higher Device Rating scanner, or risk exposing Host by slaving it. Players of course will generally go all out defense on slaving their gear, but they have far less to lose than slaving 200 things that are potential entry points to a host. Anyone have some guidelines on how often people and places would normally slave to hosts in the normal world? Corp buildings I can see having 2 hosts most of the time. The security host and the business host nested inside...
