Big Brother Britain...is the US far behind?

Also:

If you want a late-night drink in Yeovil in south-west England, prepare to be treated like a criminal. Pubs and clubs there are asking everyone for photographic identification and evidence of address. They are recording the information, including photos and dates of birth, sharing it with others involved in the scheme. They’re even fingerprinting their customers. It won’t be long before similar schemes are popping up all over the country.
