The Freiker system is just interesting because for anyone that has ever had to write a grant, quantifiable results and numbers are something foundations and federal grants love/need to see.&nbsp; So the realtime nature of the system makes this system look very appealing.<br>
<br>I will wait to call it creepy when this mom and pop company gets bought out by a government agency that ties it into things like medical info, driving records and social security numbers.&nbsp; Until then I will think of it as an innovative use of technology.<br>

Non-evil, but still incredibly creepy.&nbsp; I guess technology and Ipods are a simpler solution than education and fostering responsibility.<br><br>Squeaky Clean<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">

I don&#39;t know if your organization has issues with volunteers, &quot;lost&quot; or M.I.A. keys, or just not knowing who left the shop a mess after hours.&nbsp; We did, but after looking into all the options (
<a href="http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Keyless_Entry" target="_blank">http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Keyless_Entry</a>) we were able to get a smart card (RFID) reader donated for our shop door.&nbsp; This has worked out really well so far.<br>



<br>* A log is kept of who uses the shop and when for accountabilities sake.<br><br>* Smart cards (<a href="http://www.hidcorp.com/technology.php?tech_cat=1&amp;subcat_id=9" target="_blank">http://www.hidcorp.com/technology.php?tech_cat=1&amp;subcat_id=9</a>) can be purchased at any locksmith for the same cost of getting a traditional key cut, but they don&#39;t work until they are &quot;registered&quot; with software that controls the door.<br>



<br>* Smart cards cannot be copied.<br><br>* If a card is lost or there is a problem with a volunteer that can&#39;t be resolved in a civil manner -- the card can be denied future access.&nbsp; Luckily we haven&#39;t had that anything besides &quot;lost&quot; keys.<br>



<br>* Access to the shop can be limited to the hour, so if we wanted to we could incubate a volunteer by only giving them access to the shop at certain times.<br><br>* A magnetic contact on the door gives us a count of roughly how many people use our shop.&nbsp; We realize that some people hold the door for others and some go in and out more than once -- while those might cancel each other out, it is a rough estimate.<br>



<br>* We installed the smart card reader at &quot;butt&quot; level.&nbsp; So if it is in your wallet you can open the door without taking your hands off a bike with the &quot;butt swipe.&quot;<br><br>* No personal information is stored on the smart (RFID) card, there is just a pre-programmed number that has to be an inch away for a card reader to detect.<br>
