FDX--eGrid
Is the underlying reason for this thing really for security or to make it harder for folks to use their "bots" to log on to the system? What a freaking nightmare it's going to be to whip that thing out every time you have to log in. I've never heard of such a thing...there has to be a better way.

I don't think it's a conspiracy although that'd be fun to run with. Most companies are going to this. The military has the Common Access Card, Lockheed is going to a similar system, etc. BidX will probably need a mod to work with the new system.

Today I prefer Conspiracy Theories!
One more reason you can be disciplined -- permitting anyone but YOU accessing the p.f.c. website!
Why not a smart card? That would REALLY avoid the issues that are trying to be "controlled" versus a printable grid.....
