Veep disabled defibrillator's wireless feature
Before it was a plot point for the fictional vice president on Showtime's 'Homeland,' former Vice President Dick Cheney feared terrorists could hack his defibrillator.
In a '60 Minutes' interview to air Sunday, Cheney said his doctor disabled the wireless feature on his implanted heart device so that a terrorist couldn't use it to somehow send a shock to his heart and induce cardiac arrest.
Cheney said he has seen the episode of 'Homeland' in which a terrorist uses that method to kill the vice president and that he'd already known 'from the experience we had ... that it was an accurate portrayal of what was possible.'
