    Will it also alert them when you have been queueing for more than 10 minutes and organise coffee (My Debit Smart Card will show that I take milk and 1 sugar)?

    Where's the chain for the pen?

    The photo doesn't show the short security chain to deter theft of the fancy digital pen.

    Are they relying on fancy electronic alarms?

    (Why are all such chains just too short for comfortable use?)
