Secondly we were going past a gate and watched a lady open it with her cell phone???? anyone know what that is???

I'd bet a free luch at McDonalds that she didn't use an APP on the phone (or the phone by iteself) to open the gate. The 25+ year old technology the gates use have no way of accepting a signal sent by a phone or phone app. Something ATTACHED to (like an attached wallet) the phone is another story but the phone itself, didn't happen. Also, it's possible the gate attendant (if it was an attended gate) opened it for her. I have had that happen as well.
