-- 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.
The tread is mostly about how to identify a Registered Guest, or trespasser.

As far as tracking you Resident ID is a tracker with a bar code required at all events within TV

Instead of having a guest ID, a waterproof band could be printed for the same amount of money, requiring all guests to wear them while on property, for duration of stay.
So, even if they jumped in the pool, they would easily be identified. At this time no Guest ID is scanned, So Guest ID band would be a Cheap alternative to find any trespassers especially in the pool.

As far as Resident IDs, band would be a pain, and could Clash with Pickleball or golf outfit,.

However, an app to have your resident ID on your phone or device with not only be inexpensive but convenient.

Kets face it how many people do you know that doesn’t carry a phone.
