Random Thought: Keyless Entry and other remotes

Why is it that when walking to your car, your remote will not work from a distance of 200ft (distances may vary), but the second you place the remote to your chin, suddenly your remote is the most powerful transmitter ever created? And what kind of damage are we doing to ourselves using this impatient technique? I mean, do we really need to unlock our car doors from 200ft away?

I tested my remote this evening in a somewhat empty parking lot and I got about twice the distance using my cranium as a tower compared to the remote by itself.

Your thoughts?
