  I was asked this question recently and was wondering if there is a 
foolproof way to accomplish this.

  We have some barcoded products that need to be tracked closely due to 
security concerns.  I would like to know if there is some mechanism that 
would allow barcode entry, but not keyboard entry.

  My initial thought was to somehow tap into the badge reader 
capability.  Is that still supported?  If yes, are there any products on 
the market that would make the barcode reader look like a badge reader to 
the system?  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

  TIA.
