Can't say we've ever had one of these, not to *my* knowledge anyways. We
just get situations where a couple runners end up running naked through an
international airport (unintentially).

GM makes us roll perception to see the completely naked shadowrunners
sprinting through the main terminal followed by airport security:

1 success: "You know that something is there, but little else"
2 successes: "You know something is definitely there, and suspect what
kind of thing it is"
3 successes: "You know what kind of thing it is and suspect its exact
nature"
4 successes: "You know what it is but have no specifics without further
examination"

*sounds of uncontrolled laughter*

And sadly, the run just went downhill from there.
