SUBJECT: Request for permission for use of cloaking device

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrter captain Morgan. My name is Christiane Laurich and I´m kommissar from administrative department of the Rheinland Federal Polizei which handle this registry.

Reason for use of cloaking device which you stated in your request confuse me. What people tend to stop you and take pictures? Someone from other ships in space? If this is the case, then the source of your problem is likely leak in passanger database and thus change of your data security measures can fix the problem. And even if someone somehow knows there is some popular person aboard, civilians have no right to stop your ship so your crew can simply refuse their request. Not to mention - all they can do from space is take a picture of your liner´s hull, I do not see problem in that. If they would want to take photo with the famous person directly, they would have to dock with the liner what can be again denied by your crew.

So, to conclude - we don´t see the stated reason as sufficient to give you permission for use of cloaking device. Every ship with cloaking device out of law enforcement authorities´s control means some security risk, so there must be serious reason for its permission. The problem which you described regarding privacy of your passangers can be relatively easily solved by other means.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Kommissar Laurich
