One of those key cards caused a very embarrassing moment. Where I use to work also had them. I had mine in my wallet and went into a department store. I do not know why it did not trigger their alarm system when I entered but when leaving all types of alarms went off. A clerk stopped me until a security officer came. His first question was "are you carrying a keyless card?" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Fowle" <fo...@ski.org> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2010 4:15 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Keyless Entry Lock?
So if the buttons are scrambled, then the sightlings must have to look at some display to get the scramble each time, thus standing there puzzling over how to manage that task, giving the bad guys even more time to watch and see what is being entered. Where i work we have key cards you bring near an antenna, no contact required. but that requires a whole mess of electronics and a computer to manage it with and cost tens of thousands of bucks Since most people are too lazy to take the card from there pocket to present it to the antenna, you see scientists and doctors doing a little "but dance" rite there in the street to get in. It's pretty funny. tom Fowle On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 02:41:09PM -0500, wstep...@everestkc.net wrote: > I work in a secure facility which is currently having its systems updated. > We used to have key pads at secure points of entry, then the security lads > figured out that it was possible to isolate the four keys being used by > the amount of wear on the buttons.
