Disney taking Fingerprints
ok so I have to say that I am not thrilled about this at all...
The "finger bone scans" didn't invade my personal privacy, but this certainly does.
I am all for the mousehouse protecting their profits, but, this might be a bit over the line.
Interesting part of the article is when they ask about what Disney would do if the courts demanded to see their fingerprint records...

Sure. If. But it's not like there's anyone overseeing Disney on this. It is taking them at their word, and some people will really not be comfortable with that at all.SpaceyMounty wrote:Well if the fingerprint information is gone after 30 days I dont see what the big problem is.
And if you buy non-expiration tickets, and never use that last day, well then, Disney has a permanent collection started, don't they? It's all a bit spooky and invasive if you ask me.

they put one of those finger print locks on the door and they also tested the PC readers. They first went all high tech with plate engraving using jell type products. but they also tryed a xerox copy of the fingerprint. Sad part, they had trouble with the high tech stuff at first, but t hen when to the copy and it worked right away. The door lock even said it reads sweat and warmth (not sure how much sweat a peace of paper has)

It is funny and scary at the sametime.

My opinion is if you don't like it you have a choice to stay home. I have no problem with it, I highly highly doubt Disney is doing anything covert.

if you read the article, it says: "A Disney representative said visitors who object to the finger scanners can use a photo ID instead. However, that option is not advertised at the theme parks." I'm going to opt for this when I go in December...

I know it's an extreme, but would you feel the same way if Disney wanted to stripsearch you and your family right there at the turnstile? You'd still have the choice to stay home, after all...AKLRULZ wrote:My opinion is if you don't like it you have a choice to stay home.
