Screenwriters take note, this would make an awesome plot for another one of those CIA agent in the Middle East type movies Hollywood loves so much…
Germany’s The Local recently reported that a Saudi inventor filed for a patent with the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA) for a killer GPS-like microchip that would allow governments to locate and terminate known extremists and criminals (and possibly political opponents and dissenters?) at the push of a button.
The device is sort of like that nifty house-arrest ankle bracelet that we use here in the states, except for two important things: (1) it is surgically implanted; and (2) it will release a poisonous toxin into the carrier’s body if he/she’s ever deemed a security risk.
No word yet on whether or not the jihadists and dissenters will be able to be traced and executed via iPhone app.
While the patent application was filed in 2007, it was just recently made public. The Local, however, reports that it’s unlikely that DPMA will approve it.
Oh what a magical kingdom it is…
