I think the chip they are worried about is the miniaturized
gyroscopes inside the iPod, such chips can come in military
versions which can track positioning to millimeters over thousands
of miles. As such, it's not all that far fetched that a commercial
version of the same chip might conceivably be used as a
guidance system for a missile. And it can play Bugs Bunny
cartoons too, so I'm sure Kim Jong-il loves iPod missiles.
