> I always found it terrible security, it’s basically advertising what someone would get if they stole your laptop.

One day the company was giving employees some swag, little retractable lanyard-things, branded with the company name and logo, for each of our anonymous white RFID keycards.

I, uh, escalated my concerns that this meant anyone who stole/found a keycard would also know where they could go use it. For whatever reason, that particular swag stopped being available.



Good catch. Like the reason that house key ring lost&found tags have an intermediary's address on them, rather than identify the other directly.
