I pirate in low-sec and 0.0... I also happen to have gotten my sec status back over -1.9.
So... where do you hang out? I've got search agents anyways, but I need something to do.

No insurance payout for concord losses... and those people who mistakenly lose their CNR's or [insert shiptype here] to noobishness or a misclick while locking a war target?
I'm not arguing against your idea... but have you thought of all the impacts removing insurance from concord losses would have? The added stress on the petition system that already takes forever? And as for protecting the noobs, insurance is their protection from silliness, it gets them a new ship when they accidentally shoot a person with a high sec status and a bounty the first time they see someone like that.
Plenty of other consequences, but I don't care too much as I don't suicide gank and most of the ships I prefer to fly are T2... yeah, insure that

Perhaps the title should have been "My serious proposal to the balancing of game mechanics for High Security Systems in reference to insurance payouts to people that the Concord Police destroy due to their illegal actions"
A bit long winded though eh?
Sure. But it should have been in your OP. The one paragraph relating to the topic says it all "Simple". Now you see that it's not exactly simple

This solution is simple, you get Concorded you get no Inurance. This is exactly how things work in the Real World, crimminals cannot profit from acts of crime they have been convicted of so I put forward this is a perfect solution.

A mission runner should be able to pimp his fraction ship out to the max without fear of sucide ganks.
Please pimp fit a faction ship with more officer mods than a capital ship deserves, I know this great mission/complex spot to run in.
Leave your scout alt at home in station, you'll be just fine with me scouting the way!

I would be curious as to how the number of folks losing ships to concord due to silly mistakes compares to the number of them losing them due to suicide ganking. Yes, you could argue that at least the gank victims would continue to get insurance payouts but even with T1 ships once the price of fittings is thrown in the insurance is a far cry from compensation.
I haven't seen too many suicide ganks happening, but then there is the whole jihadswarm thing etc (I'm a lowsec pirate and war dec kinda person). And you're right that a haulers insurance payout is cheaper than the modules that go on it... I've never understood why haulers were so paper thin for the size that they are. I can carry a Battlecruiser inside of the cargohold FFS.
So yes... suicide ganking is a problem. It shouldn't be stopped, but it should have some sort of consequence other than a small sec penalty and maybe a 10mil loss at the most.
