Does a datajack give wireless DNI control of the commlink, or not?

There have been times we've tossed the comlink into the river or smashed it. I think having a comlink implanted in your brain is a very bad idea for a runner. Connect it to a datajack for DNI, then be able to toss it if everything goes to hell or manually press the <OFF> switch. Try doing the latter to an implanted link.

Except you can always spoof the decoy 'link with the one in your head. That way you can throw away the decoy and keep the real 'Link in your head.

That strategy fails when the implanted com has been compromised.
