This is an issue with nearly clubs of all type now days. Even our favorite bars and night clubs have started using the PDF417 type of barcoding used on the backs of our drivers licenses here in Utah. All the information on the front is included in the PDF417 barcode. And like Lee says, most night clubs and bars don't have the security software necessary to adequately protect that data. Hell, I've seen the door person at nightclubs leave the last patron's profile up on the monitor, and many people can get a good look at all that information.

How to change it though? I don't know, other than just don't go out anywhere.
