Evil "killer chip" invention not to receive patent in Germany. . .

In a continuous quest to make the world more like an episode of The Outer Limits, a "Saudi inventor" created and patented a chip which would allow the government to track (and, with some models, remotely kill) an individual if they were deemed an enemy to society.

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.

I think the first Model B would probably be reserved for whatever remained of habeas corpus's rotting carcass in any country that believes some of the world's citizens don't have rights.
