The best way not to get stabbed/shot in a bar is obvious. You get out of those types of situations what you put in. I know several friends who have gotten into bar fights, and I can honestly say they deserved to have they're ass kicked every time.
I on the other hand, am a smartass and a bigmouth, and yet I haven't been attacked in a bar once! It's all about knowing when to keep your mouth shut and when to realize that 'fronting' is probably going to get you hurt (or killed) on day.
The biggest way to prevent bar violence is to have more security, cameras, good lighting, etc. As someone previously said, most stabbings happen outside the club, not inside (where all those damn witnesses dancing get in the way!)

Sometimes it is not that easy. I've put myself in the middle of two domestic disputes in the past because I couldnt stand idly by and let a conflict escelate. One time was a good friend with minimal risk, but the other was to defend a perfect stranger who called out for help. For all I knew, the guy could have had a knife. Fortunately he backed down, but quite frankly, I'd rather get stabbed than stand around and let someone else get hurt where I could have acted.
Or, to make the story short, Sometimes you have no choice but to fight, no matter how little you want it.
Kevan - I'm sure the first person to get charged as a result of this identification process will be challenging it's legality in court. I'd presume they could store your data on file until the end of the buisness day (afterall, hotels have to do this in order to keep track of you), but if there is nothing to report, the data would have to be dumped.
Then again, as someone said, Vickers is regarded as a slimeball, so who knows what will happen in truth.
