Abstract

A security system is provided that includes a time dependant security badge to be worn by a person. The security badge includes a metalized reflective film having an upper surface and lower surface, the upper surface having an initial reflectivity. An oxidizing film for electrochemically oxidizing the initial metalized reflective surface to a final reflectivity after the passage of a predetermined period of time is placed in contact with the lower surface of the metalized film. The badge is illuminated with a predetermined wavelength of light and then scanned, e.g., with a CCTV, to detect the reflectivity of the upper surface of the metalized reflective film to signal an initial security status of the person when it detects the initial reflectivity of the metalized reflective film and to signal a final security status of the person when it detects the final reflectivity of the metalized reflective film.
