Blue-Sky Blue-Teething Blues? ;-)

User behavior may be an issue. I visited Andy Hopper, at the Olivetti 
Research Laboratory in Cambridge a few years ago. They had developed 
active badges to be worn by staff, which unlocked doors and allowed you 
to locate everyone. They had written a lot of papers about how wonderful 
this was. But I was able to walk into the supposedly secure building by 
following someone in with a badge on. When I got in there I discovered 
many staff left the badge in their drawer, as they did not like being 
tracked. http://www.tomw.net.au/nt/uk.html#orl
