no niether do i but if the scenario happens (because it was sensible)
to have an astral mage included they do make nice targets.

quite sensible, ok from agame mechanics point of view they might not
be a threat but ...
Actually some things don't bother about masking i think, but i cannot
remember a suitable example off hand.
This reminds me of the group entering somewhere on the quiet, all
foci off, and dedicated mask up! they nearly got away with that, well
at least the guards checking them only wondered about chromed folks
and a masked initiate wandering into a relief camp (yep FASA
adventure) as they had no guns either (i wonder why the rigger was
outside with a van full of drones and the party gun pile :) ) a lot
better than could have been managed.
