As someone that pays attention to things around me, it is interesting the number of people who's name badges I see on display in coffee shops and cafes, indicating, usually, not only their name but also their department, and usually their "rank".
At times I see people with visitor badges on lanyards designed to indicate their security clearance when visiting another department and which are absolutely not meant to be worn off-site.
It might seem pretty benign to the person wearing a green lanyard with a green badge bearing only the word "unescorted", but to those who know, it gives at the very least a security clearance level.
Coupled with their name and department on their usual badge, also being worn, against policy, visibly, in a public space, that information is not only careless but potentially dangerous.
