how does the machine know whether the purchaser is old enough to buy the gunk?

The article states that purchasers must swipe their driver's license first (the magnetic strip holds DOB info).

And look into the camera where a real live person checks that you match your license photo. And blow into the built-in Breathalyzer.

ouch! that hurts. but you never had a bootleg license with fake data? and there’s ONE guy watching all these machines remotely (if he’s even in the room at the time).

i wouldn’t want to be aroudn when the first person bypasses all these mechanical (i.e. subject to failure) safeguards don’t work and someone gets killed.

call me a luddite, i don’t mind;-)
