The Killer Chip

[Praxeas]

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.

This reminds me of the explosive collar that was seen during the first prison sequence in The Running Man.

Why doesn't the US Government decree that all infants have the chip implanted before they leave the hospital after birth? And have all of us come to local Govt. Agencies to have one implanted? Also, dna could be taken from each of us at birth or before we could get a drivers license, buy groceries, etc.

All of this could be put into a national or international data base.
