qr code scanning on train ticket

When did NJ Transit conductors starting carrying the small device to scan the QR code on train ticket? Do they plan to eventually phrase out the manual ticket puncher? 

Do conductors either scan or punch the ticket? Or Do they need to do both? Does it actually make things more complicated for conductors?

When you change trains at Secaucus, you need to scan the QR code on your ticket and walk through a gate? Why do they make you do that? When Long Island Railway passengers change trains at Jamaica, they don't need to scan their tickets and walk through a gate?

As a rider, it certainly makes things slower for them

Fare evasion  hysteria. Its hard to collect everyons tickets in the short time between NYC and SEC, so the fare gates were installed to force collection
