I think so.  They have a black strip on the length of the back like a 
bank/credit card.  The front has a persons picture and a large gold chip 
embedded in it, that looks like a larger version of a "SIM Card" that is 
put into the back of smart phones

group ( it is a big government org ).  The card readers are embedded in 
off the shelf keyboards.
