You don't want/can't have a smartlink implanted. You want the benefit of
the smartgun technology, but you don't want a wire running from your gun to
your head (it plays hell with concealability, and the whole quick-draw
thing doesn't work out too well, either). So you get an induction pad
built into a glove, wire the smart-goggle cable to that, and run the wire
down the sleeve of your jacket. You've still got a cable attached to your
sunglasses, but it's much less likely to be noticed, and much less likely
to snag on things.

That's why *I* could see it being done.
