I dont believe it was intended to be fool proof, but rather an evolution of an already hacked system. RFID by itself? That’s a terrible investment.
RFID plus guard eliminates the low level breaches like a propped door, buddy swiping, etc.
Now, since you already have the guard there with a computer (used to communicate badge issues, activate guest badges, etc), the system might as well show him the picture that corresponds to the badge that was just swiped and attempt to eliminate even more low levelers.
I’m not saying its fool proof, but in my experience the guards do glare at the screen and the swipers.
