Alan Haberman, inventor of the UPC bar code, has died at the age of 81. Before being brought to the morgue, his body needed to be held over a laser scanner before being placed in the bagging area.
At his funeral, he will be honored with a 21-beep salute.
His pallbearers will need to pass his coffin over a scanner several times before it registers that he is really dead.
