DRM Helmet - Trojan horse?

[Owen Byrne]

Reading this, I thought of the DRM helmet. If we have a phone implanted, 
it shouldn't be too long before someone
figures out the software to blast you with white noise the latest Eminem 
mp3 is detected (after checking your home PC for the license):

Chew on this: Tooth phone implants

British engineers say they have invented a revolutionary tooth implant 
that works like a mobile phone and would not be out of place in a James 
Bond spy movie.
The "tooth phone" consists of a tiny vibrator and a radio wave receiver 
implanted into a tooth during routine dental surgery. The phone was 
designed by James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau.

The implant does not yet have its own microchip installed, but Auger 
says the technology is tried and tested, and a fully functional phone 
could be put together in no time at all.

 

"With the current size of microchips, this is feasible. They are now 
small enough to implant in the tooth," he said Tuesday.

Sound, which comes into the tooth as a digital radio signal, is 
transferred to the inner ear by bone resonance, meaning information can 
be received anywhere and at any time--and nobody else can listen in.

The invention raises the prospects of financial traders receiving the 
latest stock market bulletins while at the cinema and politicians tuning 
in to secret briefings from advisers while being quizzed by opponents.

Despite its similarity to high-tech gadgets dreamed up by Bond's 
faithful "Q" sidekick, the inventors believe the gizmo could become the 
first in a whole suite of nonmedical devices implanted into the human body.
