Age Verifier ID Scanner
[
see ad
] |
| 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. |
