"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 RFID chip is old news, but this is legitimately terrifying.

foreigners overstaying their visas definitely deserve to be killed

what about when it malfunctions/breaks and the cyanide is released on someone who isn't a threat of any kind?

they aren't impervious to cyanide? that's darwin at work.

"deemed to become a public threat"

And who, exactly, is in charge of this "deeming"? Because if it's Germans, well...we all know how that ends.

space lasers please.

I'll take two.

Definitely use these to track illegal immigrants.

ya gotta catch em first. the best way to do that is to make sure everyone is born with them.

I think these will become optional in the future.

Want to live in that really nice place everyone enjoys?

Then you gotta get chipped.

Probably won't use cyanide, though. Nerve agents FTW

there are plenty of venoms they could use that would work really well.
