After all, you have to be present and present photo ID to get the oops pass, and it's valid only for that day. I'm almost certain that the turnstiles would not permit both the oops pass and the actual AP to be used on the same day. So unless an APer planned to go to the park, get an oops pass, then give/sell it to someone else but not enter the park themselves, there's not much room for fraud here. At least that's what I think you're getting at. Anyway, another interesting thing I discovered about the oops pass is that the opinion poll takers don't really know what they are. That is, they don't recognize them as AP admissions, so they're very interested in collecting your opinions even when they are passing up people with regular AP media. When I used an oops pass, it was the only time anyone had ever been interested in my opinion.

The two bar codes would be connected I am sure and one would distinguish it being a temporary pass and one the actual pass. It you tried to use it on the same day the system might block one of them. Just my thought.
