Subject: Fake ID's
From: Modnar
Posted: Mon Oct 17. 2005, 03:22 UTC
Some recent threads have gotten me to thinking about underage drinking. I am 
about half way through a very long vacation in Las Vegas. Since I've gotten 
here I've noticed something that seems very strange to me.  About half the 
time I get asked for my ID, and when It does get checked, I have et to see it 
checked thuroughly.  MOst people spend a huge amount of time searching for the 
date, find the date and then hand it back.  I've read through some old posts 
and founf that some places thats all you need.  

My question for all of you is this:  How much time do you spend checking ID's? 
We blacklight and magnify every ID that comes through the door.  OUr bar has 
been recognized by The alcoholic beverage control for catching more fakes then 
the rest of the county combined, and also by the local college newspaper as 
being great at catching fakes.  To me, I take the same pride in my work with 
ID's that I do with making drinks.  

Also, does anybody know any good resources for checking ID's in the U.S.A.? I 
have found that the one that law enforcement provides is prety useless.
