Amazon to Use Palm Scan for Buying Alcohol

Well, soon, some people won't necessarily have to show their identification to buy alcohol. Instead, you can just scan your palm on an Amazon one device to verify that you're over the age of 21. The system is used at places like Amazon grocery stores to allow users to pay for items by placing their palms over the device to purchase alcohol. Using the process. Users will have to upload a government issued ID on the Amazon one website, a company claiming that it does not store user ID and that a third party provider verifies the documentation. Amazon's blog post on the feature says that bartenders will be able to verify that the Amazon one user is of an age via a message that appears when using the device and doing a visual match with the user uploaded photo. So maybe it's more convenient.
