As always: be excellent to each other, serious responses welcome, but generally keep it light-hearted.

Also, stop bringing every random person who boards the ship to the bridge!
And implement badge-entry for engineering.
- I agree that it goes against their core values, but they have shitloads of internal sensors that could be used very unethically.
Lack of circuit breakers and seatbelts.
- The way I figure, if the inertial dampers fail, everyone is gooified regardless of restraints.
  
  Where are the inertial dampeners when in battle. Seems like every battle we have some one flying across the bridge.
I always found it hilarious plot convenience, either there's absolutely no security, or there's complete 3D holographic imaging available for reconstruction. Whichever is more convenient
The imagination of a tv show writer .... that is the greatest security threat to the federation
Ever see tv show writers in 24th century? There's a reason why they don't exist in their time period.
"Help! Help! I'm being repressed!" - some 24th century ensign...
Similar to surveillance, but the lack of pre-emptive warnings.
"Captain there's an unauthorized shuttle launch/transport"
"Can you use the tractor beam/get a lock on them?"
"They're too far away/too much interference"
"Can we please get a warning before the thing actually happens next time ensign?"
