hmm that's not so hot.  at CRL 'we' had active badges.
that was kinda cool.  there are attacks on proximity and
active id's.

the métro in paris now has passive proxity monthy
passes, with old h/w style tickets for backup.  i love
'em, but it's only protecting a métro ride.

we had passive badges at PRL to get into the lab, but
physical badges for ID, which we never wore 'cos we
knew everyone and if you did wear a badge you obviously
didn't 'belong'.

but, some of the 'machine rooms' you had to know the
code for the electronic digital locks.  those code we're
_never_ given out to anybody wasn't trusted (and after
some idiot kicked the power cable out of one of my
uVAX's i was at the point of saying:  only these small n
people, who i trust, can have thim).  but everything had
gone to shit by then anyway ...

maybe at this job fair tomorrow they'll have some usb
ram disks to give out as toys, so i might have a go at it
with 'coma'.
