Ok cool, so there's millions of implantable cardioverter defibrillators whose voltages can be changed by someone who sits nearby at a restaurant. If they up the ampage high enough, the patient has a heart attack. Now, what if I found out that a sitting president or other elected politician had a small electronic defibrillator implanted in their chest? We could see targeted assassinations look like medical device malfunctions when in reality someone learned about this device, built an exploit for it, and hired someone to sit within bluetooth range to deliver the payload. It's not impossible to do. Unlikely, sure, but this is a result of the high-tech world we are living in.
