It's mainly a stupid change since it removes teamwork from the equation, not because it makes it harder to box your alts and up their sec together.
CCP encourage teamwork in every other element of the game and yet when it comes to group ratting, they happily screw everyone over and force them to play solo.

I wanted to make a good joke about 'lol epic tier III's' but got bored.
It's fair to say the dedication of people go to to circumvent high-sec limitations is impressive but at the same time expecting what is essentially game-breaking activity to survive nerfbats is quite something.
No one should expect bumping and solo suicide ganking of such targets but at the same time I would find it pretty unreasonable were CCP to remove the 'dump your crap in an Orca post-gank' ability.
Whatever happens there should ALWAYS at least be some methods of ensuring high-sec is not entirely safe. This runs deep into the spirit and balance of all activity in New Eden. I know I make disparaging remarks about high-sec PVPers that seek to minimise their risk while acting like super hard ... whatevers.... but, this stuff is actually important in the grand scheme.
With a few tweaks, the 'suspect' flagging and proposed crimewatch stuff should actually exponentially open up the opportunity for high-sec shenanigans, albeit not against individuals but ANYONE that thinks they can take down a criminal. The main thing that makes this seem attractive to me is simple. You essentially can flag yourself to every random person on-grid simply by going suspect. These people then think 'lollol lets smoke this noob' much like they currently try to do with anyone that goes GCC. Currently they think Concord will keep them safe and the pirate will not last long enough to kill them. That much is reasonable to believe. What COULD* happen after the flagging changes is that they assume since everyone on grid can attack you that they will go down. Since you have no concord coming in to save you, all you then have to do is position yourself successfully so you can only be liable to damage from a minimum of targets. This involves some actual risk, requires some degree of competence from you and also should ultimately be more rewarding. Yes this is a post-pub ramble and most likely obvious to everyone already but there you go.
Interesting times ahead.
*COULD because it depends if CCP allow you to actually shoot back at anyone that attacks you rather than their ludicrous suggestion that you could not. I seriously doubt that would be the case, and they may indeed have even changed that proposal around by now. I just haven't seen it stated anywhere.

If that's true then I went ahead and edited my post to assist you.
