I just bought a new car. It detects the key in my pocket. All I have to do is insert a hand between the handle and door and it unlocks. I can also swipe my foot under the rear bumper and the liftgate will open (if I have the key).
I see the other half of that. There has to be receivers “always on” for this to work. Chip designers/makers are busting their butts so those receivers don’t run your battery down if left in an airport lot for a looong time. Offhand, I don’t know if your key also has to listen all the time. It is a situation I don’t care for.

Just sounds like an aspect of Murphy’s Law.

It’s just a ruse. He really just wants to get her to put her hand into one of his pockets.

And if there’s more than one set of keys in your pocket, the ones you want are always at the bottom.
