Certain items would be a problem, but most headware would not. The plates
of the skull fuse by that age (meaning growth is finished), and the brain
doesn't signifigantly grow or chage structure (afaik) past age 5 or so.
In any case, the encephalon (nad other brainware isn't going to be much
more dagerous than a datajack.
