A chip could be embeded in the band to replace the ID card, when scanned, you photo shows up as with the card ID. (Disney Magic bands)
Some would be happy to pay for the convenience rather than carry an ID card.
Issues of course. But the perfect is the enemy of the good enough.

A few things:
-- TV isn't a cruise ship or all-inclusive resort where that bracelet might need to be scanned multiple times per day for access to various things or for purchases. Therefore, it provides great convenience in those places. And people only have to wear it for the time they are there.
-- If it was used at TV, presumably, active people would have to wear it
every day...forever? If more frequent scanning occurred, they'd have to. I think I can speak for many that they will not want to be required to wear a bracelet on the regular. It's a bit like being an inmate, really, and is overkill, imo.
-- Also, again, if they were to be
scanning people regularly, there is a creepy, big brother factor to it. Some people may not care that TV would have all that activity and whereabouts data about them but, plenty of people would protest that kind of tracking and I figure TV HQ knows that.
Something that sort-of ties in to that....I recently declined to move forward becoming a patient at a well-known health system in this area because I wanted to reject (strike out) a particular aspect of their patient agreement that was inappropriate and very intrusive. I would hope other people are protesting that too but, I wonder.
Privacy actually still matters.
