Hmm. Would the alternative method still be stable if someone had deliberately altered the internal pump to deliver in random, high-dosage spurts (or whatever else that would be hard to counter)? Of course, it starts getting a whole lot less stealthy then.

Would paramedics/well-equippped ambulance ever go as far as trying to disable an internal pump before reaching the hospital?

Edit: Also, what's the difference between the 'control panel' and the 'wireless [controller]'? My understanding was it was entirely implanted, with no external connections (and even recharged via induction loop, or surgical replacement). If that's the case, then all comms are, by necessity, wireless. NFC control might mitigate the threat a little, at least from a range perspective, but I can't see where there could otherwise be a difference.
