Ideas.. I didn't see anyone mention the fact that you could destroy these imiplants with a EMP attack ( RFID ZAPPER ) .. how would this affect the human with the implant.. if this chip resonates to the point of exploision then surely it will contaminate the human body??
Well, if it did explode, then it would. But it doesn't, and so it wouldn't, because that's not how RFID zappers work. They simply induce overvoltages in the power induction circuits of the chips and cause little localised burn-outs in the silicon itself. No dramatic explosions, nothing 'resonating' in the mechanical sense of the word. Of course there's always the question of how long these things /will/ last in the body, how prone to breakdown of mechanical integrity they might be, and how harmful any of the components/materials used might be. People used to think silicone was a fairly harmless inert substance to leave in the body until breast implants had been widespread for a couple of decades and the bags started to leak or burst. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
