I just have a hard time believing a starship that is regularly full of children, civilians, and random alien passengers has zero security precautions in place for its intercom. The ship often has unprofessional individuals wandering the corridors.
Well it’s the far flung future where they can have fully productive meetings that end in 3 minutes with the problem solved…so somewhere along the lines they could probably be able to tell kids don’t push this button and fully expect those kids to not push that button 47 times per day
There is an episode where Picard is turned into a child and he has trouble with the computer because it is set to “childproof mode”. Maybe those kids aren’t doing insane stuff with the technology because it recognizes their ages and locks them out of certain functions?
I think the childproofing was just because that terminal was in the daycare. As soon as Riker enabled the terminal it worked fine for command functions.

The kids on the Enterprise are likely more disciplined than the hooligans we see on DS9, that’s for sure.
Why did you post a picture of a war hero and one of Earth’s greatest authors?

You are right! Time for another rewatch …
