It may not be a breaking news story, but it's definitely interesting. I think we all have had things like this happen, and I guess I'm not surprised that it's triggered more by vague context. I've always just figured people were exaggerating when they describe stories about things that happened and someone else calls them out on it - but they probably thought they really saw what they claimed to see.
I live in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St.Paul, MN) and I would say almost every liquor store I've been to in the last couple of years has the scanner. They actually ask you to take it out of your wallet so they can scan it...supposedly to verify that it's not fake. But I've only been in one bar MN that actually did this...
My drinking habits are nobody's business but mine. Until I get a couple of DUIs or hit someone while drunk driving. THEN they can monitor my usage.
