Ever since Walt died Disney has been steadily moving toward the dark side of the force...

How can it prevent ticket fraud? Do they scan your finger when you buy a ticket and then again when you present it?

Hmm I bet this is unconstitutional, I hope someone challenges it?

It can't be ruled unconstitutional as it is not a government agency that is doing it. You either agree to being scanned or you aren't admitted. As a business they have the right to refuse service to anyone as long as it's not based on race, color or national origin.

Boycott Disney World.
Its not difficult, and if your children don't understand tell them that by entering the magic kingdom the family is being treated as criminals.

Just read some more on it and apparently this is old news, very old.

Also seems it isn't finger prints but finger length that it measures and then assigns a number to your ticket. Says it gets an approximation and that the number isn't completely unique...

Less fingerprints, everywhere, please.

I protest and support opposition to the wide-spread rising of fingerprinting.

SUBMAN1,

Welcome to my world. This is the sort of thing I hate and will not stand for.

I think that will just spread sicknesses around like the flu! It's a bad idea!

That's why I enjoy the Great Outdoors. Mother Nature doesn't require fingerprinting.

Frankly, "She" could care less if you off yourself in the wilderness, if you're that stupid.
