This came up in tonights game:

The challenge I failed to sleaze was Security Camera.
It says that the running team needs to face a challenge
from the players hand.
The player exchanged Security Camera with Hellish
Traffic. The running team had the skills necessary
to sleaze past the Hellish Traffic.
Since the alarm is triggered due to the Security Camera,
does the running team get the opportunity to sleaze the
Hellish Traffic? The Security Camera says that the
running team must *face* the new challenge. Since you
cannot face it (as it has to attack/body rating), can
you sleaze it if you have the necessary skills?

Mu?

The alarm was triggered by Security Cameras. Any Challenges exposed
later in the shadowrun *cannot* be sleazed, because the alarm is
active. The Runners have to face the Challenge - they can't decide to
pull out. (In this case, Hellish Traffic sends the Runners home,
anyway.)

'Face' doesn't equal 'has Threat rating'.
