Here is a compromise ... Make entry gates work the same as exit gates. Pull up close and they open.
That would:
--- Save a lot of money.
--- Still give the false sense of security.
--- Still allow pictures to be taken.
--- Help carts cross.
--- Eliminate the entire gate card cloning issue.
--- Make the entry process so much easier and safer.

HOW can WE get the people who WORK FOR US make this happen?
I would start by contacting the PWAC/AAC (depends on where you live) or proposing the idea at one of their meetings.

They've just spent a whole lot of money installing new servers and software for the card readers. They may not be very receptive of a proposal to throw it all away.
