Tech conference changes policy, rescinds requirement for chipped, unremovable bracelets for attendees

I recall (distantly enough that I had to do some Googling to confirm it) that the 1976 Worldcon in Kansas City required a non-removable hospital-style wristband as well as a name badge to signal membership. (That was the same year that the Dorsai Irregulars provided security and whisked Guest of Honor Heinlein around through the hotel’s secrud back corridors.)
