Not a big deal to most of you as it's probably familiar ground, but it finally happened to me. Here's the story...
I was on a sightseeing tour of Lok while I was out collecting a couple of things for Nym when I decide to take a gander at the Imperial Outpost there. Silly me.
I zoomed into the base on my Swoop and rode through the area looking around. Satisfied with the sights, I aim my bike towards the exit and head on out. I guess the small squad of Stormtroopers standing outside was bored to death at standing around in the boonies all day and decided to harass an innocent citizen. The squad leader yelled out for me to stop and submit to a search. Yes, I was scanned. Finally.
Being the law-abiding citizen I am (yeah right, I knew I had no chance taking on the full squad of troopers as I was not prepared for combat at the time - no buffs) I stopped and waitied for them to finish bothering me. (I'm a covert Rebel, so the whole time, my finger was on the Feign Death key...)
Sure enough, after a few moments, the trooper declared me free to go. Seeing as I'm the best Smuggler in the Galaxy, they never found the various modified pistols (10 or so), modified vibroknucks (2 or 3), or three crates of spice (one each of Muon, Pixie, and Booster I carry for emergencies), not to mention the 2 full suits of modified Ubese armor (one Kinetic, one Energy). Nor did they find any indication of my political affiliations.
All in all, quite an interesting experience, and something I wouldn't mind seeing happen again, especially if I'm ready for them next time.
(By the way, aren't we all glad to have these extra-dimensional packs that allow us to carry so much stuff? That list above was just my illegal stuff!)

But that's where the crates and crates of clamps, WUKs, and AUKs are. No room for anything else. Besides, anything I wouldn't want decayed I need for the fighting anyway. Since I avoid death as much as possible, I avoid decay, and hope to continue to do so for a very long time. If it wasn't for the stupid turret in the Warren shooting me when I had it turned off
, it would have been a very long time since the last time I died.
