Anyone who can clone an RFID tag is welcome at Noisebridge, as far as I'm concerned.  :)

 

If someone wants to create an RFID system, I'd say, Go for it!  For those not into using an RFID tag to get in, they can continue to use their for-real physical key to the door (which, along with lots of other Noisebridgers, I'll continue to copy and give out to way cool people I meet around the world).

 

Mitch.
