Headscratchers / Star Trek Deep Space Nine S 04 E 18 Rules Of Engagement

• Worf is being held in the brig prior to his trial. During the trial, however, there is no security whatsoever in the courtroom. Worf is also seen strolling down a hallway with Sisko and is free to go off by himself into another room. If Worf was being held under guard before the trial, why is he completely unguarded during the trial?
• Why does a Klingon passenger vessel even have a cloaking device? They're pretty top secret devices and to have a bunch of civilians on a ship with that is pretty foolish. (Of course, once the Frame-Up is revealed, the question becomes moot.)
  • The Federation's "no shooting at any decloaking ship in a combat zone ever" is a pretty stupid hill to die on, cedes even more of an advantage in a combat scenario to an opponent with cloaked ships. Even a simple guideline along the lines of "Federation starships may fire on decloaking vessels in a combat zone if they broadcast an all channels, languages & frequencies, a warning to third party ships not to decloak or they may be fired upon" would suffice.
  • Worf is on trial for destroying an "innocent" transport ship in the heat of combat. Yet no one mentions the blatant hypocrisy that this whole brouhaha started with the Klingons ambushing a convoy carrying humanitarian aid (and going even further, that the aid was only necessary in the first place because of the Klingons' systematic slaughter of the Cardassians in a war which they preemptively started). Seriously, Ch'Pok should have been laughed right out of Federation space the minute he tried to slap such an accusation on Worf.
  • Ch'Pok goads Worf into attacking him, and then says "I thought you said you'd never attack an unarmed man". Thing is, Worf did not say that. Worf said he'd never attack a defenseless person; Ch'Pok is, as far as we can see, an adult, able-bodied, male Klingon, and as both Worf and Ch'Pok are bare-handed, neither of them would be "defenseless" in a fight against one another. It still serves as an example of Worf not keeping his "Klingon urges" in check, but while a courtroom is not the right venue for a fight, there is a big difference between fighting someone who can defend themselves and fighting someone who can't.
