I was expecting another word like 'virus' or 'vulnerability' in that sentence.

Just to clear up any confusion, that was intended to be a joke. It was also pointing out in a humorous way the lack of coherence in the argument that since the device uses the body's natural conductivity it must be compatible with pacemakers. The fact that it does use the body's natural conductivity in no way indicates that it is safe for people with pacemakers. But the post was mostly intended to be a joke. Which apparently nobody got. At least I didn't waste my +2 bonus on it.
