A) Your stun pistol. Can knock an enemy unconscious, without hurting them in any way, even from the fall, from twenty paces.
B) Personal force field. Can deflect other stun pistols, as well as bullets, katanas, etc. Doesn't work if you move faster than a walk.
C) X-ray sunglasses. Can see through clothes, but also flesh, so you just get a skeleton and the outline of any weapons or interesting items someone might be carrying. Also works on walls.
D) Electronic lock pick. All locks are electronic these days. This will open any ordinary one. It won't crack a safe, though.
You can also bring in a second item, but this will cause difficulties, as the second guard was hired for something else. It took some cajoling but you managed to persuade von Brandt to get you an exception to the rule that all temporary visitors to LunaTokyo have to be strip-searched. The thing is, you absolutely hate being seen naked. It's your one weakness. You can handle a firefight but the thought of taking your clothes off in front of a stranger, no matter how respectful she might be, freaked you out so much that you persuaded von Brandt to get you out of it. Now, however, you're having second thoughts. You could tell the guard that there's been a change of plans and she might be able to smuggle something else in for you. But you'd have to go through with the search. She's not going to do more work than she gets paid for.
