The contents of my APSA nametag barcode

Using the SWIPE Toolkit, I found out what Big Brother knew about me in Chicago due to the barcode on my name tag:

103396//CHRISTOPHER/LAWRENCE//TULANE UNIVERSITY/309 NORMAN MEYER BUILDING//NEW ORLEANS/LA/701185698/UNITED STATES/5048628309//3149771462/C$N$LAWRENCE@GMAIL$COM/APSAPM07/

Nothing you couldn’t have figured out with Google, I suppose.

But why? I was never “scanned,” so why’d they do it at all?

Of course the fact that I spent most of the time in bars may have something to do with why I didn’t see it being utilized.

Scott, you lush. ;)

So what are those numbers? Your digits? That is so cool.

The 504 number is my office phone. The 314 I think is my old office phone in St. Louis; no idea what it’s doing there.
