I found this a bit confusing. I thought it was one of those things where the drowning kid doesn't look like he was drowning. But instead, no one is generally drowning in the first 10-15 seconds. Then a kid flips over a floatie or su

I put the same card in two different devices, and it acts like two different cards. You don't think that is unintuitive? Especially if you understood the old rule as "use the same card to swipe in and out."
