Patronscan wants cities to require bars to scan your ID with its service so it can maintain a secret, unaccountable blacklist

I’ve mostly seen them in places with lots of newly minted 21 year olds like college towns. I found that using a passport card thwarted the scanners so far, the ones I saw just try to grab the magstripe. No magstipe, no data.

And if they do slurp the data, at least I’m not leaking my address or state with a passport card
