What I was working on a few years ago is worse.
3 foot door way 100% read
6 foot doorway 99% read
Standard 6'6" doorway 90 odd % unless you went down the centre
very poor.
If I have to have it I won't take the risk of being scammed, I will delidratley destroy the chip part!
I have no objections to an ID card, but would rather insert into a machine (policemans radio etc) for it to be cross referanced with the enquirers details before information is released.
Not there for all and sundry to pick up out of the air as you walk past!
