Cheney Disabled Heart Device to Foil Terrorists

Former Vice President Dick Cheney told 60 Minutes that in 2007 his cardiologist disabled his defibrillator’s wireless function over concern that terrorists could use it to send a fatal shock.

Said Cheney: “I was aware of the danger…that existed…I found it credible. I know from the experience we had and the necessity for adjusting my own device, that it was an accurate portrayal of what was possible.”
