Saudi 'Killer Chip' Implant Would Track, Eliminate Undesirables

From Fox News.com (May 15):

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. [read more]

Talk about George Orwell's 1984 on overdrive! Then again this device is what an oppressive gov't (like Iran, N. Korea, Venezuela, etc.) would love to have. And if the Saudi gov't suspects you of being a homosexual they could implant that chip in you. Once they think you're a homosexual--you're dead. Good thing the chip was denied.

On a side note, Venezuela's dictator is making a $14 cellphone for the people of Venezuela. You know because they lack cell phones and he wants to listen in on their conversations. Then again I could be wrong about that.
