I'm considering a scenario wherein CCI tries to check a legitimate badge and because the RFID isn't properly functioning that the badge-holder is put through the ringer. Maybe it could even be grounds to deem the badge fraudulent, and the attendee's day goes downhill from there
I'm sure CCI will issue a notice prior to issuing our badges with the RFID-imbedded tech, cautioning that the RFID is vulnerable to moisture and that these function within a set temperature range. My newly-issued passport has these warnings (and even to double-check it doesn't get thrown in the hamper when you toss in your travel clothes, then inadvertantly into the washer and dryer). Anyway, because one can never be too safe, please don't let your badges get wet. Don't let them be exposed to too high or too low a temperature. In other words, don't perspire and stay in surroundings with controlled climate. Both pretty much unrealistic expectations.I'm considering a scenario wherein CCI tries to check a legitimate badge and because the RFID isn't properly functioning that the badge-holder is put through the ringer.

Let's hope there are multiple security measures put in place so that if one fails that there is another option to validate. I think that's just the worst case scenario.
Having read Mario's article on this topic over at "When Nerds Attack", I want to thank him for referring to the badge check as being required to provide your "Show Me". TV geeks such as myself can certainly appreciate that bit of humour.Maybe they should consider putting that added heading right on the badge? Then possibly a lot of folks would get right into the fun of it and forget to complain.
Thought there was already a disclosure on the back?

Honestly, preventing the badge sharing itself will make con life a little easier for everyone just by taking some people of the exhibit floor. I'm all for anything that might give us a little more room to navigate.
