Corrected entry: Picard has never had any relations with the So'na or its technology, yet he has no problem activating the self destruct sequence on the collector. The self-destruct would be the most well protected and difficult to access function on ANY vessel. Maybe with tools and a tricorder and some time, but Picard does it in about 4 minutes with his bare hands.

Corrected entry: When Picard and Anij are marked and beamed aboard the Son'a ship, Picard still holds his phaser gun. But when he is with the Ba'ku in the 'prison room' it is gone. Are the Son'a transporters so selective that they can separate Picard and his weapon? With the gun he should have been able to cause some trouble aboard the ship.
Correction: Actually, in TNG, we see a phaser deactivated during transport or left behind by the transporter a couple of times. It's not any kind of stretch for the Son'a transporters to have the same capability.

Correction: Gallatin has switched sides to save the Ba'ku. As Ru'afo's second in command, he would surely be able to brief Picard on how to activate the self-destruct.
