Any Johnson that'll go to a meet without his own astral security is insane.
You think the corp will let you stand an ally spirit or a horde of
elementals around their man for even a second? That's as good as having a
gun drawn and pointed at him. Not conducive to a working relationship.
Also, what is your astral surveillance looking for? People with guns? Mean
people with guns? You'll find more than a couple of those on the streets.
People with guns thinking about killing you? That's a tall order even for
the most dedicated of allies or watchers. Probably won't be filled. People
with ruthenium fiber technology? Yep, a watcher'll know what that is.
Won't be able to see it from the astral, but that's ok. How about the limo
with one-way glass in front of the restaurant or cruising around the block
with the othre limos awaiting their passengers? Windows go down a hair,
there's a few whispers, and there's a few bodies. Windows go back up and
the limo drives off casually. Where'd the shots come from? Dunno. Astral
surveillance is fairly worthless unless it is a mage or a very powerful ally
doing it.
