Convenience stores that check ID by swiping driver's licences could
be violating privacy law, Government Services Minister Gerry Phillips
said Wednesday. The system called "We Expect ID," would
see store clerks swipe licences through a lottery terminal to verify a
customer's age when purchasing alcohol, cigarettes, adult magazines,
lottery tickets or fireworks. The terminal will read age information
from the magnetic stripe on the licence and display the person's age on
the terminal.
