Alcohol Safety

Answer: B - False. An electronic ID card scanner should be seen as a complement to checking the ID with your eyes and hands rather than an alternative.

Modern technology is not without its flaws. While an ID card scanner can usually tell you if an ID is real and legally valid, it cannot match that ID to the person who tries to use it to order alcohol. For example, a recently stolen ID may still swipe as valid, but it takes a human to really tell whether or not it belongs to the customer attempting to use it.
