It's enforcement that is a problem. Infiltrators abandoning a
wearable/smartcard/implant need to have automatic APBs put out on them
as soon as abandonment has been confirmed, on local crimestoppers
programs, and internet bounty hunter websites. Make it so that they'd
prefer being caught by the cops rather than the citizenry (as most
criminals do).
