embarrasment. The culprit was the Hillingdon Community Services card -
which seems to use the same technology as Oyster and was causing a

This is going to start happening more and more as various other
organisations start using non contact smart cards.
The people who make the 'access control' system at my work have said
they want to replace the mag-strip readers with MiFare Classic readers
and replace all our cards. Oyster is Mifare Class - so the door reader at
work will one day cause any near by Oyster card to respond as well as the
'proper' access card, with the system probably objecting when it gets
responses from two cards instead of one.
