Why would you have someone manually looking at badges? That’s what HID readers are for. I have occasionally seen a security guard in addition to a badge reader to make sure that your face matches the badge photo as you pass through a turnstile, but it doesn’t matter what’s on your badge - the “source of truth” photo is loaded from the database onto the guard’s screen.
