Why can't they put a little magnetic chip in everyones shiney new ASIC card that opens doors around the country??
Shows how much thought those really smart people at DOTARS put into it!
To Jandakot Pilot/ & others
for the uninitiated ASIC persons. It is possible to insert a magnetic chip into an ASIC and place a magnetic swipe stipe on the back. I work airside at Kingsfor Smith and my work ASIC has both of these qualities. It is a little impractical to allow each and every pilots ASIC to open access gates at all ozzie airports. We should all be trust worthy but DOTARs won't take the risk I expect.
By the way, ASIC stands for Aviation Security Identification Card. So lets not call it an ASIC card.... Aviation Security Identification Card Card!
Bort.
