Saudi 'Killer Chip' Implant Would Track, Eliminate Undesirables

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.

Yeah that'll work, right up to the point where some brilliant, yet insane hacker figures out the signal id patterns and commits an act of genocide...

such a chip would probably be used almost exclusively in military/secret operations - therefore i don't see the necessity to create a patent for it - if used, it probably won't be announced to the public, so this move is confusing
