This will be a lot of fun. I regularly get clocked as being a teenager, despite not being one for a long time. I've been kicked out of bars, get carded buying cough medicine, etc. If I'm lucky, the only thing that gets me out of those situations is my government ID with my birthday on it.

Something tells me people who don't look exactly their age are going to get caught up in these automated systems.

But then you just verify with a different method like government ID or credit card.
