The overwhelming majority of the people guillotined during the French revolution were innocent commoners.

Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?!

You don’t need any help from me, sir.

That’s right! …

Almost certainly. You’d have to go out of your way to find a keyfob system that doesn’t. I administer a keyfob system at work, and I can tell you exactly whose key was used on which doors and at what times.
