Actual proof would be nice. Not you know trusting your word

KNOCK IT OFF

Believe it or not, you don't have to post in every thread you don't like. That being said, knock off the attacks now. Prove or disprove the information. If the attacks don't stop now, you risk your posting privileges.

Do not reply to this post.

They already have them in heart pacemakers, they are powered by external batteries the same batteries batteries that power the pace maker.

This was one of the things discussed in another ATS thread on a subject asking what if someone could hack into a hospitals thread and change the settings in a pace maker, or drug machines.

I didn't hear any 802.11 reasons why it wont work, or no technology existed, or and any other proof, you all talked as if it could be done.

So give it a break. The tech is there, a gun manufacture suggested it as part of out think tank on how to stop another LV from happening and it uses tech not available to the general public and it is not all 802.11

As far as the device in my son's body it is experimental and he is not the only one that has one. It is like a bluetooth but is not recognizable as a bluetooth. It does use 802.11 internet infrastructure and operates in windows, apple, and android. Maybe later if the device is approved by for public use maybe they will make it work with Linux.

Again the tech is there. No proof they will implement it but we should know that it is there and can be used either for good or for bad.

A pacemaker isn't a GPS which doesn't work if it's inside your body. Stop making things up.

Out of curiosity do you understand the difference between a gun and a pacemaker? Hint a gun does not need electronics to work. Thus no chip will stop it working with a retrofit. You would need a new generation of weapons and all the old gone.

You keep saying “the tech is here”, but there’s no sign of it anywhere.

Pacemakers don’t use GPS either.

I feel he is confusing that modern pacemakers are often web enabled with gps.... A few years ago a hacker showed he could hack certain pacemakers. That is scary sauce but not stopping a gun working

Here’s something to ponder.

The very best GPS system fails when it can’t communicate with a satellite. A well known place this happens is Manhattan, due to the height and amount of close proximity buildings.

It would also NEED to be a system you can’t diactivate or remove.

What you’re suggesting is a GPS system that would NEED to be smaller than we currently have AND stronger AND able to go through buildings AND tamper proof.

There is nothing on the market, or even been patented (that I could find) that even comes close to what’s needed.

And the GPS portion would be external since a human body is a terrible conductor for the signal that GPS utilizes.

I heard a lot of the web enabled pacemakers were getting recalled due to the insecurities within them (mainly because of the hack).

Can you at least produce some type of proof, did you get any paper work on this tech they put in your son?
