I thought they already have some kind of keg registration in place. Or at least Polk county does. Last few kegs I've bought they have a "do not remove under penalty of law" sticker with a bar code on it that they associate with your information.
Doesn't bother me because I'm not buying for underage parties at age 27 these days. Basically in Ames you can have a party and not be bothered by the cops as long as you aren't being stupid about it. Knowing your neighbors or inviting them to the party was the best way of not having one of them call the cops on you. Let them know if they have a problem to confront you first. Keep the party out of public view and if you were in an apartment complex keep the noise down later in the night and no one should bother you. If you have a party spilling outside and the people a block away can hear you, chances are you'll probably have some unwelcomed visitors in uniform stop by before the night is over.
