I see no issues, you are not stopped for not having a badge/RFID card, nor are you stopped for not signing the blue sheets.

While it may be expected, it's certainly not enforced as a requirement.  If you don't like it, you can always remove the chip/antenna.

I think that having readers at the doorway would be of value, perhaps with one that allows you to sign-out (eg: if you are going to another WG at same time).

I understand some folks don't like the privacy issues around this, unless there are the IETF police stationed at each door.
