I am wondering if this can be used two ways and if the soldiers with this implant are willing to take the risks. Assuming that a soldier has been captured by enemy forces and he has knowledge of vital information. What are the chances that using the implant they can "fry" the soldier brain to avoid giving the enemy those vital information ?

I'm more interested what are the chances of soldier going "insane" just before giving testimony to court/senate about "some things that people in the control of that chip would like to bury"? Or even having a stroke or epilepsy attack...

This probably already exists. I don't believe they'd need to fry the brain, just explode it or titrate certain drugs.

    Nah. We can hypothesize very conservatively based off of what we knew existed in the 1960s-- agency issued suicide pills, and remotely detonated explosive molar implants to prevent squealing (albeit with a quite short range because of technical limitations at the time).

        Well, suicide pills are certainly possible. The question is whether any agencies use them. To that end I have no idea. I do question exploding molar implants, however... that seems like something straight out of a cheesy spy movie. If those do exist I'd love to see what the idea in using them was, because that's kind of funny.
