I think the existing system is working fine. I don't think there is a serious "invader" problem. I've seen people get caught at the pool without IDs. Usually the offenders are sheepish Village residents who forgot to bring their IDs. Only once was it a visitor without a guest pass.

Dee's solution of a card reader at the entry gate is a good one. But I'm not sure the problem is large enough to justify the cost. And polite Villager residents would hold the gate open for others anyway!
