A security officer, engineer, cargo tech or any underling who just barges out and doesn't report via radio is next to impossible to find. Even more so if you tell him that he's going to get demoted if he's not reporting in. And if you do find them, they will retaliate in any way they can because they think they've got nothing to lose.
I'm talking like "taking an ID" is as simple as that if you have a person in front of you that you want gone.
Holy shit, I just posted a big ramble about how you shouldn't care about people who fuck off. Go read it.

Not only a remote system of any sort would be overpowered, easily abused, create a huge number of situations that are hard for admins to deal with, so they will just go all "IC issue", which will help nobody but assholes, but it will also be completely fucking useless for its purpose.
Okay, you removed access from their ID. So what? Now you have an assistant full in security gear that will want to hunt you down. Or you will have an engineer with that precious hardsuit who's not gonna watch singularity and just took off with all the metal you had. Great, you will keep them out of engineering. He's probably not even gonna care about it. May be he was just busy setting up solars, missed your call, or was afk and you just ruined his ID with your amazing remote fucking system, which is
ideal, now he's pissed off and instead of setting solars he's wrecking wiring all over the place. No wonder - you locked him inside maintenance with no way out with your
ideal system.
If you want to help heads demote, give them disablers or something. I can predict another
ideal system though - teleporting all items from the person, leaving them absolutely naked. Demotions are so easy now!
