Has anyone thought of the cloaking device yet?  It's still
functional, as far as we know, and might serve to get Kirk
and company past the federation checkpoints.  Just add illegal
entry to his other 'crimes'...

I have a trivia question:  In S.T.-The Motion Sickness (LOVE
that phrase, whomever coined it.) at the very end, Admiral
Nakamura requests Kirk and crew beam down for debriefing.
Kirk says something like 'request denied', the idea being
that Kirk is taking advantage of a polite turn of phrase
on the part of his commanding officer to disobey a direct
order.  Was this in the movie or just in the book?  I'm
not about to sit through it again to find out.
