The rule is the rule, and I like it. It is more secure.
It's not more secure at all. The card and the scanned card is the same. The barcode is ultimately what determines if things are valid. A fake card can be produced just as easily as a digital image can be modified.

It's not like this is a passport to get into the country, it's a verification that someone is allowed to use a pool. Not something to get all worked up about and start being a snitch on the Villages employees that are using common sense. Let the Villages employees do their jobs and MYOB.
