Don't discount the possibility that children or disabled people using wheelchairs won't have access either! Even assuming this were useful, where would such scanners be placed?

(Remember Calgary's fancy new stair-laden library has an elevator for #accesssibility but they put the buttons up too high for wheelchair users to reach to prevent children from 'playing' with them. (Hopefully this has since been fixed).)

Even just my scanners at work, I never understood why they have to be so high and inaccessible, and I'm able-bodied. They're just keycard scanners. Whether you wear them on your neck or on your belt, they would be accessible at half the height. They are at head height now, for no reason. 

 @b541bfe5 

Good grief. That's ridiculous!

Then again, I've had ETS drivers yell at me for 'taking too long' to tap my ARC card. You know, becuase my hands are otherwise occupied with my crutches and I am not clever enough to carry my card in my mouth or something? 😡
