| With most
states going to IDs with either a barcode or
magnetic strip, as well as numerous other
security features, spotting a fake can be
tricky. But swipe the ID through the Age
Verifier Scanner and let it check the
authenticity for you. It also creates a record
of everyone whom you carded on a particular
night, which makes reconstructing witnesses in
an insurance claim a whole lot simpler.
