in The Villages, it is not about security. It is all about slowing down the cars so the golf carts can proceed at the gates. It would be nice, however, to have some sort of reader in our car and not need to use a gate pass.

I've been delayed at the gate a few times because someone dropped their gate pass or couldn't find their gate pass or wasn't close enough to the reader......you get the point.
