For liquor sales. Screw that.

If the liquor store wants to do it, fine! Good for the liquor store! If the government makes the liquor store do it then, it's time to grab the pitchfork.

Yeah, I mean simply because we are slowly sliding into police state-ism doesn't mean we have to give them more help!

My drivers' license should be good enough for you. If people fake them, make a better license. Oh course, thanks to a measure passed by Congress a couple of years back, your drivers license will soon require your fingerprints, and the prints will become part of a federal database.

The problem with this is that the scanned prints have to match and little things can throw them off. Cut your finger? Got a wart? Worked with Superglue yesterday? No booze for you!

This problem has reached hilarious proportions at the condo where a friend of my daughter lives. Singapore being an Asian high-tech heaven, the condo decided to implement a fingerscan system for access to the elevators. The problem is that the condo has a pool. Outside. On the ground floor. So people go swimming for a while, their hands get all prune-y, and they find themselves trapped outside in their swimwear.

cockey, exactly. I will not trade privacy or the potential of the technology to convinience. Credit cards and IDs are convinient enough.

That's just creepy.

I know very few adults who have been arrested for giving alcohol to minors. Even when it was blatent, in progress (and the minors were preteens).
