I like it as is. Right now if there's an undefended Objective out, I'm
less likely to run on it. If you interecept me, then you're walking
right in and taking that Objective next turn unless I can pull
something amazing out of my hand.

I think it lends to a more strategic style of play, especially in a
multi-player game.

Case in point, in a 4-way game the other week, it came down to
deciding just who I'd let have an Objective. the were no Challenges on
it and the owner of the Objective had passed on intercepting. The next
player had all his Runners turned so it came to me. Would I rather let
this player (who was in last place) or let the next player (in second
place) have it.

I've seen the current interception rules work in ways I like. I say if
it's not broke don't fix it.
