Tldr for safety

To actually answer your question instead of piling on, it's a hospital, not a prison. In case of emergencies, the door absolutely cannot ever be potentially locked, even while the machine is on.

With how easily something can go wrong in an MRI, they need quick access without the addition of special keya/badges to get inside or relying on people inside to hit some lock release.

In cases like this it makes perfect sense to have a lock because an idiot was outside and ignored all the warnings. A lock would have prevented everything that followed him entering.

Buuuuuuut unfortunately we can't cater the entire world to the biggest idiots, if only for the safety of the less idiotic who might have a heart attack in the MRI and need to be quickly pulled out, or a piece of metal that snuck into their food and is now ripping out their insides.

In most situations where an emergency happens inside, quick reactions save lives, and locks slow reactions down to the slowest mechanism, which might be "I don't have the right RFID badge, go find another person who has one or the guy inside dies"

how did it not throw up red flags all around letting this guy wear it around that machine.

He wasn't allowed in the room.

His wife panicked in the MRI, he charged into the room he was told not to go Into.

Nope, not me.

I'd like to think I'm funny though...

Well, I mean I DO technically have a YouTube channel that hasn't posted since 2017 and only has a few battlefield 3/4 clips on it I wanted to show friends.

Which YouTube guy would I be?

Fun anecdote: a relative, without a hint of irony, goes on about how they deserve to be there because "they used to live there 2,000 years ago"

Apparently I'm an "asshole", "woke" and "antisemitic" for bringing up native Americans...

My wife would be freaking out about two minutes after she realized I hadn't come back inside, I wasn't answering my phone, and I wasn't in any of the usual places around the house.

Everyone else? Weeks.

Just a thought experiment, how sink-proof are these things?

If someone were to build a homemade submarine with a drill, how many holes would one have to theoretically drill to make a yatch sink?

Why not just tattoo a number on their arm?

I'm sure there's no possibility that subdermal trackers would ever be used in shitty ways.

Well yeah, if you're trapped in one of our many prisons, you get to look forward to slave labor! Slavery is perfectly legal and constitutional, as per the 13th amendment.

As an American, seconded.

I'm trapped here, don't YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

The "I'm doing the thing you're doing but throwing it back at you" and "thanks or whatever" definitely is.

They're being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.

Getting defensive isn't necessary.
