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'.
