I don’t think people quite understand what “security” means. To achieve true security you require defenses in depth - multiple checks with multi factor (ie different) forms of checks.
An ASIC on its own is useless. It needs to be checked EVERY TIME by someone with armed immediate backup to provide just one level of defense. The second level is to require a valid reason to be in the security zone at all. The third level is physical security of the zone itself - fences, razor wire, alarms.
The ASIC on its own is useless, any idiot with a laser printer and a laminating machine (or better still, screen printing capability) and the imagination to dress the part is in.
