Yes, those swipe cards are an infermnia (don’t know if it’s a word but I heard it in
“The Godfather”) that must be stopped. I can’t fit them on my key chain

Really enjoying this column and looking forward to more. The combination of biting humor and insight into white-collar human nature, tuned to DC culture but usually applicable to any similar techno-bureaucratic locale, is unbeatable.
