Smartcard Bouncers

from the valuable-technology dept

Here’s a cool idea. Using smartcard technology to act as bouncers in a club. Before you can get into a the Alcazar Pleasure Village in the Netherlands, your fingerprints and face will be scanned and you’ll be rejected if you’re a “known troublemaker”. Somehow I don’t think “known troublemakers” are going to be too happy to be rejected by a machine.
