Rav Hershel Schachter (“Hilchos Muktze,” min 27-30) argues that they aren’t [[Muktzeh]] since they are perfectly useable utensils, whose primary purpose is permitted. He reasoned that even though the owner didn’t plan on using them on [[Shabbat]], according to Rabbi Shimon, they aren’t [[Muktzeh]]. Chut Shani (vol 3, p. 88) agrees. </ref> | ||

He isn't sure whether a magnetic identity card used in a hospital or the like is considered a kli shemelachto lisur or muktzeh machmat gufo. He discusses whether it is a kli since it has a use albeit forbidden or perhaps since it isn't used in it of itself it is like money which is muktzeh machmat gufo.
