I wanna see a Star Trek episode where they can't scan whereabouts of an away team because of strict local regulations of emissions on frequency bands. "Captain, we'll have to aqcuire an expensive license to broadcast on this frequency" 🖖 ✨

@stsp Picard arguing with an FCC enforcement team would be just...😙 👌

@phessler @aag @stsp I‘d send a Ferengi. Fight fire with fire

@phessler @stsp lol you can't send Q anywhere he doesn't want to go!

@aag @stsp @phessler True, but he'd probably enjoy doing it anyway.

@stsp "Captain, we're being hailed on all known frequencies! Audio only!"
"Put it on."
"Hi, this is Toby Anstis on Heart..."

@iona @stsp Wasn't there an episode of Voyager where they picked up an old radio transmission that somehow made it as far as the Delta Quadrant?

I want to say "The 37's" but memory hazy. :\

@stsp Imagine Star Trek confronting a GDPR-enabled satellite called Europe. No scan would be possible.

@stsp or a planet with privacy laws about physically tracking people!
