Default Re: Scanning Your TV ID card.

Scanning is a tool for TV to help administer the rules we all want in place to keep our paradise for us. If one isn't doing anything they aren't supposed to and also doing what is required (i.e. pay fees etc) then there is nothing to worry about. The system TV has in place works and sometimes that in itself bothers some.

If one wants to debate the philosophy of potential invasion of privacy that is OK too....

How about credit cards (go/no go)...
How about Turnpike passes (go/no go)....
Again if all is OK there is no problem. It is for the good of the majority and unpleasant for the minority (that is was designed to weed out)....

Designed for the benefit of those of us that do what is required....and signed up for....

When they were just looking at cards, those who would be not allowed tries flashing look alike cards to get in....and during busy times...it worked.

One last comment....it is not reasonable to expect people who man gates, or centers or doorways, etc to have to decide who should or should not be exempt from a given process. That only leads to when in doubt let 'em in.....the most efficient method is no exceptions...no judgements required....errors are minimalized...your safety and privacy are maximized.

If there is a big brother out there and his system that "watches" me gets the bad folks...good for the system!!
