It does. It reduces the range at which you can be cargo scanned.
The reason it doesnt change the fact that you can detect players at 14ks, is I believe because that is hardcoded into FL, and cant be changed without the sourcecode. Have you noticed that your scanners generally only have a 6K detection range, yet you can detect them at 14Ks?
Also why is this in the rules forum?
