Security status effects tethering

That isn’t as true as it might seem.

It’s easy to check by comparing the kill dump from the MER against zkillboard statistics:

Overall, zkillboard misses a lot of killmails, but the vast majority of those are losses to NPCs, particularly new players (which can also be crossed checked against the ESI to get a handle on numbers and it in the thousands per day).

For most gank targets, zkill gets a very high percentage of the killmails.
