Zouichi's expression was one of confused disbelief. "If he hadn't known about you at all, yes, that would have been the optimal situation for you. But that's not how things turned out. He did know. And he ended up telling everyone. Do you... really not see that this could have been handled differently?"
Plus, the ship was the size of a moon. Did Marco really expect Kang to tear-ass around looking for Marco and Rachel himself? Kang had better be a lot faster than he looked, because even the Flash might be hard-pressed to track them down. Especially if they were in Hydroponics or the City.
Maybe it was pointless arguing this with a thirteen-year-old. Marco seemed to think of everything in black and white, even when presented with evidence that the way they'd handled things this time just hadn't worked.
"I'm explaining this because I'd like it if you could understand where I was coming from, and because I don't want things to be handled this way in the future. I think it's just asking for trouble. But I am annoyed that no one bothered telling Security until the last minute. It makes our job harder. And it means that the Council and Security doesn't trust each other. In addition, it means there may be more information that one Councilor or another is keeping secret, which they'll only release to us when they deem it necessary. Maybe there's another KAIN locked up somewhere that no one's bothering to tell us about, for instance. And one of these days, they may decide too late to prevent someone from getting seriously hurt."

Or killed.
