We use generic RFID tokens that are very common for all kinds of
applications, and we don't store anything Noisebridge specific on it
(you could even use your Clipper card, which uses the same technology,
to open Noisebridge), so you can't figure out from a sniffed RFID if
you have access to Noisebridge.

The main concern with sniffing in that context would be that you could
create a copy of a token (with the additional hardware effort) and use
that to enter NB. Which is an explicitly ok hack :)
