IMO, this is not a good precedent to set. As someone who doesn't cause violence at bars, I would prefer to see them use this system, even if it includes scanning personal information. A sacrifice I'm willing to make to keep troublemakers and re-offenders from ruining my good time.

I went to school with that "bar star" and count him among the more intelligent and reasonable of all my acquaintances.
Regardless, the article itself says that Tantra did not provide evidence that scanning ID and keeping that personal information is in anyway a deterrent to violent behaviour. I tend to agree.
