    The word is biceps. There is no bicep.

    Yes there is. Bicep is perfectly cromulent. English is defined by it's use, not by concrete standards, contrary to what a lot of programmers secretly wish. (Or did I miss the announcement from the Ministry of Words?) ;)

    Everyone is forgetting about the potential interaction with the receptionist. At least at my gym, you want to stop, talk, ask out...

    RFID gym bag tags.

    That's what we installed in the gym at a hospital where I worked. It's pretty simple and works really well.

    Forget the barriers. A nice photo of the punter pops up on the receptionist's screen next to the choke point as they arrive. They can be greeted by name - along with a towel and/or whatever accoutrements they are supposed to receive. Plus the receptionist can wish them Happy Birthday, remind them to pay their bill or whatever.

    When they leave, that's recorded as well - which means they know who's there in case of emergency.

    So, was this a home-brewed system? I assume not, from the mention of 'technicians'... Did he hire some cheap company, or what? Was it a new company or something?

    Is your other hand missing, due to birth defect, trauma, etc.? Or did it perhaps have more bandages on it?

    I ask because I'm trying to figure out why on Earth you would use the hand with the bandage to register your print.

    Each scanner is exorbitantly expensive, so everywhere I've seen that has installed these things (that is, both of them) only purchased one hand scanner for each door. One place bought a left hand scanner, because the guy who bought them figured the left hand was less likely to be injured. The other bought a right hand scanner, because the guy who bought them is so right-handed he doesn't seem to realize he has two hands.
