There's a classy little scene in Star Trek III where Doctor McCoy, who's being a little rambunctious in a bar (the result of being infused with Spock's katra), is being braced by a Federation security guy. This being the Federation, he doesn't just whip out a badge, he holds up a credit-card-sized wallet gizmo, out of which pops an ID card - up / down, little chirp at the top (now you see it, now you don't, wanna see it again? tough). Its slick, and who knows, maybe it actually works, and doesn't really rely on the holder flicking it up and down with his thumb.
I thought of that when I saw this.
