Identification Devices Help Deter Underage Drinking
TEAM has been introduced to two
identification devices that detect invalid and counterfeit identifications. The
IDLogix C100 Terminal, manufactured by Concord EFS, incorporates a card swipe or
scanning system to determine if an ID is valid and if it represents a person over
the age of 21.

Precision Dynamics Corporation's product not only scans IDS to determine if they
are valid but it also quickly prints a wristband with unique identification
information to prove a valid ID was presented.

While TEAM does not endorse either company or product, several sports facility
