Really, the scanning is examining the cards under different forms of light, but with the simultaneous ability to take a digital photograph for documentation.
I don't have a machine that can do that, and I hear they can be pretty expensive...

I did just recently get a very high powered blacklight and will probably use it to take some pics soon. I may wait to pick up a set of red safety glasses.

I may also see about getting a filter to do IR with the phone camera.

I think a solid method of detecting would be a really useful thing for anyone that wanted to use it.
