I was at the 1980 Winter Olympics, and we had to wear badges slung
from a chain around your neck.  The ID had your photo on it, and was
color coded.  Green was the lowest (what I had), and White was the best
(IOC members).  In addition, the badge was supposedly chemically coded.

Also, you need a SECRET clearance to get a badge for GE's ELAB in Syracuse,
New York.  The badge has your picture on it and a clip to hang on your
pocket.  Of course, you can just walk right into the place, but you
need a SECRET clearance to get a badge.
