Fillmore SS Shows

i'm glad i found this out before my shows in jan.

thanks gang.  oh . . . that's going to be good at the widespread show watching all those stoners being told they can't enter without an id.  somehow, i think this practice will not last long.

so who's going to Cheap Trick?

I am assuming they are scanning to confirm what comes up on the stripe. They do this at Caddies and other Mont Co establishments. The magnetic stripes on the DLs contain birthdate, address, etc, not much else. I highly doubt they are scanning to check to see you are up to date on your child support.

Seriously, bunch o' tin foil hat wearers round here. Bars scan ID's all accross Amurrrica.

According to MindCage's post on the previous page, if you don't let them scan your ID you will be denied admission.  So it doesn't appear to be about stopping the use of fake IDs by underage patrons.

not following you… the scanning will definitely stop the use of fake IDs, since the fakes will be spotted at the door, confiscated, and the person who tried using it won't be admitted (or will have to use another ID, one the presumably shows that they are underage).  what am i missing here?

I could give a shit if a 20 year old drinks a beer or if someone without an ID does… What is it to me? I pay for my ticket and I have a valid ID so dont' harass ME.

the venue does give a shit if a 20-year-old drink a beer, because they could lose their license over it.   they're not harassing you more or less than the underaged would-be drinker.  you're treated the same.

if you're not a fan of their security/admission process, don't go there anymore.

From what I gather, some of these new fake Chinese licenses can fool most anything.  I can't imagine they can not put on the magnetic strip what should go there as they can fake the holograms.

the whole thing is confusing.. apparently you CAN get in but can't drink if you don't submit to their ID scan check…presumably you still need an ID to get in..

I have never once seen a bar scan IDs in the District, nor anywhere else I have lived.

food stores around where i live have been doing it for awhile if they think i'm underage, which is rare now, which is sad now.  that is why i assumed it was always for stopping underage drinking.

Maybe it's MoCo then? But it's happened to me multiple times… in multiple cities.

22 years in DC/MD/VA… I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all.. never had this take place.. not ONCE.

definitely had it happen to me at least once in the DC/MD/VA area, can't remember where.

yada: with you on the tin foil hat wearing.

It's extremely scary, I would never want to walk around there by myself at night…

Just wondering, what kind of information do you want to know?? Think Bethesda, Arlington, etc… only a bit more multicultural.

Also, that 7-11 is about 8 miles from down town Silver Spring, so you should be safe.

They were checking your name against a gov't database to ensure you werent' a turrrrorist!

The casino in New Orleans has a id scanner, I get mine scanned all the time when I go in.  I think it's to check if it's fake id  ;D

sorry . . . i fell into that whole "media is your information link" hole where generalizations rule.  whew.  that story is now everywhere, and it really does give an impression that this is what young people in silver spring do.  i'm sure the town has its share of crime and people that should stop taking up space on earth, but everyplace has that . . . except where i live.  we all love each other and share cake recipes.
