Did we compile a list last year of things we wish we brought / accounted for?
Oh, and something that came to mind this last weekend. With implant projects and ideas getting more and more technically advanced, security is definitely something we all need to keep in mind. It might be neat to propose an implant hacking contest, where anyone who wants to get their stuff audited offers a reward for anyone able to breach the device in an undesirable way. Offering bug bounties and having an open discussion about the security of your device sounds like an excellent way to build a relationship with the infosec industry, who I'd personally rather have working with us as opposed to against us :)
Something I saw this weekend at BodyHackinCon that got my srcurity scheming going: NFC reactive nails. Essentially they were gel nails with an NFC-responsive light. Having a different frequency assigned to each nail would be a neat way to test the given frequency of an unknown reader, perhaps? Cyberise.me is also working on implantable NFC responsive lights as well, which if you could get a few that span across a range of frequencies, might make for some pretty AND useful body art :)
