No fan of the technology per-se, but presumably they can't be lost or stolen.

- adetrest 8y agoYou don't even need a knife for fingerprints, you can lift them off of whatever that person has touched.

- reificator 8y agoYeah but you can use a knife for biometrics and implanted chips.
- chillfox 8y agoAs someone who has had to manage access cards before I would think it is a cost saving measure. The amount of users who lose their cards several times a year is surprisingly large. Not to mention that the users also tend to lend them out and swap them.
- user5994461 8y agoThat's easily solved by charging $10 for a lost card.
- beobab 8y agoYou'd be surprised. They did this at my university, and the numbers did not change significantly over the course of the year. Edit: University charged for lost cards. They did not implant chips.
- user5994461 8y agoI meant for the fees to cover the replacement costs, not that people would stop losing their cards.
- petre 8y agoSo put it in a bracelet.
