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...

Well if the fingerprint information is gone after 30 days I dont see what the big problem is.

So how will this work with those of us who have bought our tickets that last forever?

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.

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.

I don't think Disney is the real problem with fingerprinting. I would trust Disney, but I can't because it's just a matter of time before one of our federal agencies decides they want a copy and just takes it.

Funny thing is most finger print readers can be fooled. If anyone watchs Mythbustersthey proved this.

I'm a big fan of Myth Busters too! Those guys crack me up.

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.

Yes, this is crossing the line.

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...

I have no problem exposing my naked finger to Mickey or any other CM. The stripsearch at the turnstyle thing would make me opt to stay home!!
