I should have known this, but podding someone in hisec or losec drops your security status…a lot. I lost 1.2 off my 5.0 status yesterday by nuking a capsule in losec. I can deal with the 0.2 loss after destroying a ship, but going after the capsule cost me another 1.0 status loss. It's a grind to get back to 5. While I'm not obsessed with maintaining a high security status, it provides a good buffer so you can hunt without concern about going negative. For more on this, see Eve U's article.

My first clue should have been that I could not aggro the capsule at first. I had to disable all safeties (set it to red). Oops. Great way to get criminal status and have a kill right put on you!
