Security Sweeper

Government officials and military personnel must maintain a vigilant guard against espionage, taking greats pains to ensure they are not being overheard or recorded. The world of intelligence and counterintelligence fluctuates as recorders become more complex and more difficult to detect, and sweepers advance to keep up with them. Security sweepers are optimized to detect specialized electronic components, ignoring mundane devices such as holocams or datapads. Security sweepers precisely locate recorders and listening devices, but they typically cannot identify the exact nature of any such device.

A character using a security sweeper may check an area for espionage tools by making a DC 15 Perception or Use Computers check. If he succeeds, the device notifies him of the presence and location of any recording or espionage devices within medium range of his current location. If the device is particularly well-hidden, this check might be opposed by the Mechanics or Stealth skill check of the character who placed the device.
