No. RFID. Infact that is what u should be looking at longterm.

i am doing some work on this for POS for avsap, if you have the know how, i can avoid reinventing the wheel

Barcode readers have serial (usb) interfaces. Should be trivial to read.There is already an app to write barcodes - kbarcode. And linbar to read.
