I had a similar situation, where we needed to track personnel for a specific
event. We gave out id cards with only a bar code, no other identifying
marks. The scanner would check them in/out with one swipe, and it was fast.
The only people that could relate the bar code to a person were the people
that managed the accounts.

the site for the event was a single page with a text box that the bar code
scanner placed the output in. after the scan was complete, the page would
auto submit, and flash a message.

I don't have access to the source, but I used jQuery, and an auto submit
function
