In a frightening development, Disney has started to require ALL visitors to their theme parks to put their index and middle fingers into a device for scanning.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The addition of finger scanning technology at the entrances of Walt Disney World theme parks for all visitors has caused concern among privacy advocates, according to a Local 6 News report.I think it's a step in the wrong direction," Civil Liberties Union spokesman George Crossley said. "I think it is a step toward collection personal information on people regardless of what Disney says.
Tourists visiting Disney theme parks in Central Florida must now provide their index and middle fingers to be scanned before entering the front gates.The scans were formerly for season pass holders but now everyone must provide their fingers, Local 6 News reported. They have reportedly been phased in for all ticket holders during the past six months, according to a report.
This is quite frightening if you ask me. I like technology and all, but I don't think anyone has the right to ask you for fingerprint. It's bad enough they ask for your social security number when you so much as buy a glass of water, and fingerprinting is one step too far.
