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.
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.
Gee, and no one at the CIA or the Pentagon ever thought of this..? Yeah, sure.
Quite.
No doubt variations on this theme have been around for decades.
The more I read about nano/cybernetics/biotechnology that is now in the public domain the more I tend to shake my head at the probable capabilities now being used via the the recent 50 billion requested for black ops. (Excluding undisclosed sums funnelled outside the purview of congress).
Inexpressibly depressing.
