Within the context of the incident report, Ra'zii wasn't sure what was going on with the internal sensors during the bathroom scene, but he's putting 2+2 together. He never says anything definitive about Bart deliberately fooling the sensors (which would be information he wouldn't have); for all he knew, it was a glitch in the new system, which is why he made a note to talk to station operations about it.

As it stands, there's plenty of wiggle room, depending on how ops or Mike plays it. The internal sensors could legitimately be buggy; Bart's tech could be used by Starfleet Intelligence, so it doesn't leave a digital fingerprint; etc.

As for justifying how security could have reacquired Bart after the sensor blip/transformation into Lisa Flanders, Zolar's a Betazoid and was already on the scene. Chronologically, Zolar telepathically identified* Bart in the bathroom after the change but before Ra'zii ordered him to break off the chase. All it would take is: a) Zolar's testimony that he chased Bart into the woman's bathroom; b) cross referencing the time indexes of the incident; and c) confirmation from station ops that there was tampering with the internal sensors.

The report is just setting up a factual (as far as Ra'zii knows, based on how the story's been written) timeline of the morning's events for security records rather than laying out hard evidence for an arrest warrant.

Re: the tribbles. I see where we have our wires crossed. I should have been more clear about what I wanted clarification on at the end of the incident report post.

The last time we see the tribbles mentioned, the Klingon had just given Bart a disruptor pistol, so I'm not sure they mysteriously disappeared, unless you meant "vaporised by Bart" which is why I wanted some clarification on that particular tangent. As a player, I wanted to know if Mike was working up to an unauthorised weapons discharge (which would have serious implications for both Bart and the Klingon). As a character, Ra'zii's going to investigate where the tribbles came from, regardless; but since he wasn't at the restaurant at all that morning, everything he knows (including numbers) is based on second hand reports from unreliable witnesses.

*That may be a breach of Starfleet Telepathic Ethics regulations, but that's another discussion.
