I can see why guests would need photo ID on their access passes. But why did the "mad scientist" need his own face on his master pass. Hi-tec place like that. He programmed everything. It didn't make sense.

So that you know its his?
Bigger question is why were there security cards at all in a high tech place like that? Voice or print or face recognition should have been enough.

He wouldn't need his own photo to know it was his if he knew that his was the only one without photo ID.
Probably just a simplification for the movie viewer.
Or was he to just another "guest", with higher security clearance, posing as the CEO?
Or maybe I'm just desperately trying to get any point in before the IMDB Message Board has gone forever.
