The body mass issue may become important, both because of the offset in distance and the signal attenuation. I think we can leave the wheelchair and lead shielding as special cases for later.

What about body mass variation, what about clothing (I hope we don't have anyone wearing lead sheathing, as could be in an x-ray situation). What about having a telephone or other portable electronics adjacent to the badge? One can take a technical perspective, accounting for all sorts of things. Or one can simply accept that the first version will come with some caveats on who/how it can be used. For example, Phil said the hockey puck might be used from any direction. I say he's wrong, if we decide differently. We do get some freedom to say what are the conditions on using the technology. Should we think about someone in a wheelchair?
