Saudi 'Killer Chip' Implant Would Track, Eliminate Undesirables Friday, May 15, 2009 * Print * ShareThis It could be the ultimate in political control — but it won't be patented in Germany. German media outlets reported last week that a Saudi inventor's application to patent a "killer chip," as the Swiss tabloids put it, had been denied. The basic model would consist of a tiny GPS transceiver placed in a capsule and inserted under a person's skin, so that authorities could track him easily. Model B would have an extra function — a dose of cyanide to remotely kill the wearer without muss or fuss if authorities deemed he'd become a public threat. The inventor said the chip could be used to track terrorists, criminals, fugitives, illegal immigrants, political dissidents, domestic servants and foreigners overstaying their visas. "The invention will probably be found to violate paragraph two of the German Patent Law — which does not allow inventions that transgress public order or good morals," German Patent and Trademark Office spokeswoman Stephanie Krüger told the English-language German-news Web site The Local.
Isn't that kinda like the unit our government wants to put into us? You know, just to be able to identify who is a citizen and who isn't (wink, wink).
It's kinda cool and it's kinda sick. Who makes the decision on who were to get it? That would never fly in the US... total infringement of civil rights.
Dangerous in the wrong hands. Imagine though if you found a way to force the device to malfunction? Like using EMP or something like that?
