Can cargo be booby-trapped, and how will you know?asked by Gryphon Thorne

We're not sure on that one yet.

Honestly, we've talked about it. A lot of people want to be able to defensively booby-trap their cargo so pirates can't take it, but it seems kind of unsporting, don't you think? But if there are booby traps for loot, then there will be scanners for booby traps.

It's all about checks and balances.
