Now I want to do this. I have a friend who's a surgeon and I could probably convince them to supervise or do it for me. I've always liked the idea of my front door unlocking when I am near it.

How hard do you think it would be to remove if it ever became obsolete?

Make a small incision near the implant and pop it out. It'll be a slightly larger cut than the implant, but you can squeeze the implant out through the hole. They're made for easy removal.

Personally I'd get a professional to remove it, it'd be an awkward place to cut with a non-dominant hand, and I think it'll be slightly trickier since you'll need to cut rather deep to get to it. I don't think I'd be able to do that, nor would I want to risk trying.
