I’ll throw out a practice that I’m really weary of - many bars, clubs, casinos, etc now scan your ID upon entry.

If they have a problem with you (and they define what constitutes a “problem”) you can end up added to what is essentially a secretive blacklist that’s shared among businesses, and you have no visibility into or recourse against it.

I understand that I’m entering private property and I have the right to not go there. I don’t think that’s a valid argument against this being a terrible idea.

Which is the terrible part? Scanning your ID, or the secretive blacklist?

[kbos87]

I mainly have a problem with the collection and storage of my personal information in a way that could impact me in the future and that I have no insight or control over.

Scanning an ID to get back a confirmation of its validity and not retaining any data in the process isn’t something I have an issue with.

[abnercoimbre]

What are some potential solutions? Regulating and standardizing scanner apps?

[kbos87]

Since we’re talking about what the FTC could do here, prohibiting these businesses from retaining or at least sharing data on their patrons could be a start.

Whichever one you're more willing to argue for, they're both justifiable yet dystopian horseshit.
