Ref. Green Apple Quicksteps: "Target Runner must immediately return to
the safehouse."
Given that the Runner must have turned to leave, the usage of the card
will result in
the Runner being a) turned and b) in the safehouse.

The definition in the RBT (p. 14, iirc) specifically includes unturned
Runners, but
does not exclude turned Runners.

Given the precedent set by the Z-zone, not to mention the difference in
timing (viz,
you visit Locations in your Legwork and go on a shadowrun on the
Shadowrun phase),
as well as game-balance issues, it is my lasting opinion that you cannot
both visit
the Location and go on a shadowrun.

At the very least, the wording would be redundant: Any turned Runner
(who has visited
a Location, turned to Recon, turned by McDeven, or what-have-you) cannot
participate
in a shadowrun.

This depends on the method of trashing.

After playing, Challenges remain face down. You may not look at them
(unless you
use Recon or other means) or trash or rearrange them. This is one of
the reasons
Security Consultant rocks as a card..

Although I'm officially in lurk status at the moment, I feel I had to
comment.
