RE: Physical Access Cards

["Steve Freeman" <freema2 () bellsouth net>]

I agree with Stephen M. Access however, cards can provide varying degrees of
access given the software package being used. Some cards, just entry from
the street, other levels to really secure areas where  biometrics with the
access cards can provide dual authentication. I tested facial recognition
with card access as well on an application.

Why would you have access cards as the only form of authentication to
a "secure" area?  That's like giving every employee a key to every
door in the building and expecting security to work itself out.

Card + Pin or perimeter security maintained via guards that check
badges eliminates this issue.
