   Way off topic kinda, but Melbourne, Australia, establishments such as   
   late-nite bars etc are scanning all id's, licenses, etc. in case of   
   assaults and harm. This shit is common down here now, but I know that   
   our law is different to yours. my take on this situation is stay the   
   fuck away!! run!!
