Most people carry security cards on a lanyard around their neck or attached to their purse or some other place on their body. A security card that doesn't have to be pulled out would be a good thing.

If you ask me, your security card should be your cell phone. For added security, your location would be tracked at all times when in the building or when you're out.

When I worked my security card was attached to one of the retractable
clips. Some folks did wear theirs on a lanyard, though, and we were
tracked to any secure area in the building.

I only use the card to get into the building and once in a blue moon
into a restricted lab. In my wallet is the best place. I don't have
to pull it out of the walled for it to be read.

That would be an intolerable intrusion on my privacy.

My company is too cheap for a technology upgrade, anyway.

I have a leather trifold. Bought it in Italy a dozen years ago at a
small leather shop in Florence. It was cheap so two years later I
bought another in a different color to use when the first wore out.
Looks like that will be inherited by my sone as the first one is in
great shape.

Leather. Good stuff and practically incapable of wearing it out.

Bruce will have a hissy fit running backward BUT an animal must
die for us to use this product.

I guess you thought that was news to me.

I just didn't want it to come as shock to you. You know how delicate
your system is when talking about dead animals.

The whole world slaughters, tortures, eats and wears animals. I kind
of knew that already, sort of kinda thing. It's a remnant of the
Neanderthal era. We'll grow out of it and some people are ahead of the
pack.

Leather is a byproduct of beef and dairy No one would raise cattle exclusively for leather if cattle didn't have tasty meat and/or tasty milk. I've known vegetarians who've admitted to me that it's not about the welfare of animals, but that they think eating animals' bodies is gross.

Funny how kids are. I have a great niece who won't eat meat at all, but her younger sister would eat nothing but chicken wings if she could. She throws a fit if she doesn't get chicken wings pretty much every day.

The argument could be made that leather makes beef slightly cheaper to produce, and so makes cattle farming more profitable, but the rancher gets very little for the hides. Most of the cost of leather is because of the cost of processing.

And then there are vegetarians who don't eat meat for health reasons
or for environmental reasons. I stick to animal welfare first of all,
but I'd appreciate any health benefits. Remember how the WHO said
eating red meat is as bad for us as smoking.

Hopefully the era will last long enough for me to obtain a genuine
DruceSkin lampshade.
