This is why G L Whitney as "Yeoman Rand" quickly became irrelevant, despite being the origin of the tricorder. (True! They wanted her to be able to do something besides be eye candy. That's why it was strap-slung like a purse - how else would she carry it?)
(The character was obscure anyway, a carryover from the original pilot, where she was an awkward ad hoc replacement for the Captain's original yeo man, killed in action.)
