Yes, but how long before someone sees that he uses it and says "Hey that's a good idea, scanners should be mandatory in all establishments that sell beer."?
Before a law is ever enacted it should be thought of in the worst possible context of use by the worst possible people because that is what it will come too.
I could see this escalating and in a few years all of a sudden decent law abiding citizens start getting their liscenses revoked because of a consistent pattern of beer buying. You know as a preemptive measure before they can get a DUI.
TR is right, Big Brother indeed.
