The US government is buying software to track who enters and leaves its buildings

The US government is buying software that tracks people entering and leaving its facilities. This means it can now monitor who is on-site at any given time, using existing security systems.

For years, government facilities relied on physical badges and human checks for access control. This purchase means the government is moving towards automated, real-time tracking of personnel. It allows for more precise accountability and potentially faster responses in security situations.
