>>there's no requirement to wear them
And even some non-wearable ones! But yeah, you can just grab/turn/stow if you'd like.
Also on a semi-related note, since I have heard the script swapping service can work on teleporters, it would be neat if there was a premium service option that let you add the ability to the non-scripted item of your choice. Like the autoscripter, only... script-ier? Or just my random thought of the day.
