Sounds like a neat way to make your employer a little
nervous.

Another one is to show up for work in a suit (you usually
wear blue jeans) and leave in mid-afternoon for a dentist
appointment.

On a more serious level, looking for another job is neither
legal nor rational grounds for termination.  If you do 
get fired merely for interviewing for a different job, 
hit 'em with a fat lawsuit.

On the other hand suppose you suspect an employee under you
is out looking.  Thing to do is, give their name to a headhunter
who has the perfect lucrative job for that particular 
individual.
    One of two things will happen: (1) The employee decides not
to take the job the headhunter offers.  He or she was probably
never serious about changing jobs, and will thereafter settle
down for a while and put his or her mind back to work.  (2) They
take the job.  Probably would have left in any case, but
this way you get a fat commission from the headhunter.
    Either way you come out ahead.
