    What was wrong with smartcards?

    Was there any consultation about it? I wouldve thought that theres a few unhappy parents after that letter was sent out...

    No idea. If they wanted to upgrade the system to make it faster, I would have gone with RFID-enabled smartcards myself.

    I don't think there was much consultation, and apparently there are almost no unhappy parents, which worries me equally as much.

    RFID really is awesome for things like this, yeah. I wonder how accurate the fingerprint system will be. If it needs a few attempts to recognise someone, then it'll make it slower if anything...

    I'm shocked there was no consulation, and frankly amazed that no parents have complained.

    It sounds ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. It took my brother five attempts to even log a matching thumbprint, and that's before you even start on the cost or ethics of the thing.

    In other news, awwwww, cat!
