In the thread on horrors someone (totori?) mentioned an off-switch for a cyberzombie. Anyone who played the videogame Deus Ex will remember the killphrases for the cyber-enhanced UNATCO agents.

How realistic is that? Does it make sense for a corp or government agency to put failsafe devices like that in their augmented personnel? I'm asking about both an auto-kill command, either vocal or electronic, and simple "off-switches" that'd disable the agent.

Somewhat related- does it make sense for anyone to have a "self-destruct" system built into them? I'm talking about explosives- something that'd effect the agent's environment, not cyanide capsules.
