It might even be worth ambushing sec, killing them, then stealing their cloning disks to have yourself a force of mindslaved security, assuming it's a permanent thing.
I'm always a fan of ways that antags can include others in their round (I.e. hive mind or mindslaving) so it's a great idea in my opinion.
On the subject of the other modules, can they be removed? How about the DNA injector being swapped out? I can see particularly rude traitors sticking something in like reinforced radioactivity or other harmful mutation.
The mindslave module is a geneticist-only traitor item. I didn't think about using sec's cloning disks. That is devious. I love it.
Module removal - yes. Use a screwdriver on the pod. Replacing the DNA injector module requires you to insert a new module. Doing this changes the mutation to the new one (i.e., each one is single-use). The mindslave module can also be screwdrivered off. Doing this causes it to self-destruct.
Honestly, given the whole secret cloning-setup-in-maint thing, maybe it would make sense to also be a mechanic thing?

Does this have the same personal stability issues as being injected with the gene per normal injection?
Yes
Chromosomes will still work with these injectors, yes?
Also, a thought: maybe the injector module should work like a hypospray, with only dangerous mutations being admitted if its emagged.
