Modules de balayage d'identification aux questions d'intimité d'augmenter de barres

Nous sommes habitués à fournir des informations personnelles sur nous-mêmes quand il y a une question concernant la sécurité, peut-être employant une carte de crédit dans un magasin ou montant dans un avion. Mais la nouvelle technologie nous dépiste dans les endroits que nous pouvons même ne pas connaître.
Vous pouvez maintenant mettre « aller à une barre » sur la liste. Maintenant où quelques endroits vérifient votre identification, ils ont un disque permanent de votre information. The next time you request a table or order a round, the bartender might know your age, height, and eye color before you even make eye contact. That’s thanks to new scanning equipment that’s becoming mainstream. Rockford’s Silver Lounge uses scanners to uncover the underage. General Manager Addison Jun says, “It’s just pretty much this little scanner that’s meant to scan drivers licenses, business cards and it just kind of helps keep track of everybody.”
Bar-goers have mixed feelings about being cyber-carded and having their personal information saved in a database. One told 13 News, “It makes me pretty uncomfortable. You don’t know who’s working behind the door.” Billy Cook from Roscoe says, “I feel like it’s an invasion of privacy if they find out where you live. You never know where that info is going to go.”
But Jun says they do it for a good reason. “If it’s a fake, it lets us know that it’s not a valid ID. Security is a huge, huge issue in the nightlife business.”
But local security experts say don’t underestimate the old-fashioned role of the bouncer. Merchants Police Director Larry Hodges says, “It says here she’s 5′11″. The girl that produced the ID was only 5′5″. It says she’s 160 pounds, the girl that produced the ID was 125. So the machine doesn’t catch that. But the person does.” Cook says, “The established places that have good security will hopefully use it in the right manner and not abuse it.”
But bar owners also use it as a marketing tool. Because the scanner saves your address, they can then send out information about special events or upcoming promotions.
They can only see and save what’s on the front of your license, including your address and picture. But they do not have access to a person’s criminal record, health information or credit background.
