reading a first tag identifier from a first tag worn by said child-guest;
reading a second tag identifier from a second tag worn by an adult accompanying said child-guest only if said first tag identifier identifies a child;
accessing said child-guest data object using said first tag identifier;
comparing said second tag identifier to said information related to an identity of said authorized adult-guest; and

Abstract
A system and method for selectively allowing the passage of a guest through a region within at a coverage area. The system includes a turnstile system having an RFID reader, a network interface, an entry mechanism and a processor, and a central server having a network interface, a non-volatile memory, and a processor. An RFID reader reads a tag identifier from an RFID tag worn by a guest. The tag identifier is transmitted from the turnstile system to the central server. The central server processor access a guest data object using the tag identifier and reads a data field containing information related to the guest. Based on this information, the central server transmits a control signal to the turnstile system to activate its entry mechanism, thereby allowing the guest to pass through. The information may relate to monetary credits of the guest, statistical information of the guest, and restrictions, disabilities, health conditions and special access of the guest.
