Is it cold in here?:
Since we know AnthroPCs can be backed up and restored, I think the question on the table was about what happens when you restore twice and get two simultaneously operating copies of the AnthroPC personality. Imagine, for example, Pintsize being replicated through BitTorrent.
What if Marigirl brought with her something really awful, not a mere chemical or biohazard, but instead some of her fanfiction?

Let's see - what could Marigold have inadvertently brought aboard SS EC-Tech that would be "against the rules"?
* Sharp Objects - Box cutters? Scissors? I don't see her carrying anything like this on her person or in her luggage. However, Hanners did say she thought Marigold had a katana...
* Sporting Goods - I doubt she has a cricket bat like Hannelore does.
* Guns & Firearms - Uh, no.
* Tools - This area I could see an issue. She is a computer techie, and she might have her emergency computer repair kit on hand at all times - like her screwdriver set or six-in-one tool. Such an item would probably not be larger than seven inches in length (which is the TSA requirement), so that might not be an issue. Maybe it's something else in her repair kit?
* Martial Arts & Self-Defense Items - Would she actually carry a can of mace, or a taser with her? or Nunchakus, Throwing Stars? Or could she have something on her that could be mistaken for such?
* Explosive & Flammable Materials - Practically anything in this category would be "very bad" to bring onto a space station, as the atmosphere inside is probably a lot closer to pure oxygen than the mixture we have on Earth. Maybe a can of Cheez-Whiz that she forgot was in her luggage? Maybe some sort of soldering gun or other type of torch/lighter?
* Chemicals and Other Dangerous Items - Some sort of heavy-duty tear gas, but then her luggage would have been a LOT larger than it appears.
* Other Items - The only thing I could think of would be her Netbook - with the attached webcam. Maybe Hannelore forgot to tell her that she couldn't bring that with to the station?

If TSA was going to be involved (would they be for a private aircraft?), I'm sure they would have been before they reached the space station. Once there, it would probably be rules based on what you can bring onto the premises of a military contractor, which I assume are looser.

I presume personality of robots is not only based on software but hardware too. so if you upload another Anthro into new hardware then that will be another person even tough they will have same memories.
Changing chassis is not an issue as it is just chassis not brain of AI but just a body.
Diin:
Members disappearing one by one, Hanners being completely inconspicuous about it...
IN SPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU *DOOOOOOOOOOM*

They did call her "Ms. Farmer", not "Ms. Whitaker".
