Coolfer respects the rights of any business to operate as it sees fit. If this procedures helps make a club safer, so be it. Customers can go elsewhere if they choose.

Privacy advocates always kill me. They too easily exchange the good of the public for the rights of the one that would be affected only in an unlikely scenario. Yes, privacy advocates spread fear as much as Pat Buchanan. They conjure up a worst-case scenario and try to convice the public that it will become commonplace.

I doubt bars/clubs in Vancouver are less safe than similar establishments elsewhere. The difference is that the people of Vancouver are probably not so hung up on the ideals of the privacy advocates.
