Should we start on pool on how quickly this will be hacked?
No more quickly than the bar codes that they use now.
I like it. One assumes that the data will include all the ticket information, a nonce, and redundancy to ensure that the former is easy to read reliably. Having the transmitter and the receiver also on the same network can provide even more security. That we can clearly do it right is not assurance that we will not do it wrong.
