Hey Grant,

Cool post - actually, Japan has been using this exact same system for more than 5+ years now. It's really popular in advertising because you can use your phone to scan the code and learn about a new product or record the website and other retail information. You also see these codes at bus stops, which are used to ping the server and figure out when your bus will arrive. It's very, very cool technology, so hopefully it'll catch on in the States.

Anyway, happy turkey day, and safe travels.
