Nah, he was saying that the corp wouldn't have astral security, would let
the runners have astral superiority without question when going into a meet,
and that the runner's astral security would be good enough to detect the
snipers. There's too much info for spirits to handle and too many things
that they couldn't see through. Limos would routinely have wards on them
besides the one-way glass. People with limos would routinely have
bodyguards with guns ready to kill anyone if they deemed it necessary.
People on the streets carry guns and are ready to protect themselves with
them if need be, some may be out to kill anyone. There's people all over
the place. Some are mad, some happy, most armed somehow. How's a watcher
spirit going to know which one's the sniper? Or which ones are? Will it
know by the weapon? A sniper can use a pistol as easily as a rifle. Will
he know it by the aura of the person? Nope. How will he know it? He
won't. At least until the first shots are fired.
