Forgive me for not sharing the American enthusiasm for such technologies.
I note that while the US election systems stagger from one fiasco to the next
there British electoral technology based on paper ballots, pens and human
counters/scrutinizers is considerably cheaper to operate and has not failed
since the introduction of universal suffrage.
Use of that type of technology might be viable in ten years time but at this
point they are in the 'vastly more trouble than could possibly be worth' bucket.
Wait until they become common at conferences that have a static venue before
even thinking to use them at a movable feast like the IETF.

Subject: RFID (was: identifying yourself at the mic)
RFID would be a great way to replace the blue sheets as well - put an
RFID reader at the door of each meeting room. Embed the chip in the name tag
so you don't need to remember to bring anything else from your hotel room in
the morning.
Cheers,
Andy
