An Implantable RFID Chip That Can Kill You?

This news item is quite chilling.

A Saudi inventor has come up with the idea for an RFID chip that can be inserted into humans and can kill them remotely if the government feels that it is necessary.

An application for this invention was received by the German Patent Office on October 30, 2007 and was published 18 months later, but it will not be approved in Germany because it is considered a danger to the public.

Apparently this RFID chip that the Saudi inventor came up with would be implanted under the skin so the whereabouts of whoever is implanted could be tracked by global-positioning satellites.

The purported benefits of this technology include preventing illegal immigrants from overstaying and keeping track of people who may be "terrorists".

Apparently this chip would also contain a poison such as cyanide, which could be released remotely to "eliminate" people if they became a "security risk".

In light of what we know about Bible prophecy, a technology like this is a very frightening thing indeed.
