Yes, but that's not the problem. Indeed, that's how it works now.

The problem is that the card unlocks the door but does *not* turn off the 
alarm. The right answer, in other words, is to disallow the card from 
unlocking the door if the alarm is already set. Because as it stands now, 
going into the building sets off the alarm, with no way to turn that off.
