- I certainly would pay to go, so it would certainly make money.

- Its also possible to have a small RF signal sent out to the door that a
- reciever will pick up as your "personal key". By doing this you allow the
- person to enter only there room. If person approaches the door, the signal, on
- a certain frequency, and coding will put the "door" into open mode, thus
- allowing the sensors to open for anyone who enters into the motion detectors
- field of vision. The pins would not need to be all that complicated, or
- expensive, and would solve the problem of the door opening to everyone. The
- entire setup would cost, approximately a $1200 dollars.
-
- Quite expensive, but then again, it depends on how many doors it would be used
- for. If you use it on a everydoor, then cost would fall down to $500 dollars
- for the entire setup, quite exceptable, since a room would cost half that much
- for a "mission". Pins would be given away as suveunirs for the "crew" to take
- home, and can be recoded with a new code when they return, next year, to spend
- more money.
-
- It would also work to restrict hotel guests from gaining access to the hotel
- staffs areas.
