That would make sense. All it'd need is some research into what kind of
simsense signals are needed to prevent the use of magic while allowing
normal activities to be performed.

I'd rather not be a magician and get arrested in that case...

For holding a magician for a short while, like just after they've been
arrested but not processed yet, LS could stick them in a cell and have an
astral magician keep an eye on things. This would be impractical when
holding a large number of magicians all at once, but OTOH there won't be
man occasions with mass arrests of the magically active, I think.
