Hey, Disney...

You've just given me yet another reason to never visit one of your parks. Apparently you are now going to be scanning and storing fingerprints of people entering the park, in order to "combat fraud". Sounds kind of eerie and Big-Brotherish, don't you think? Couldn't you think of another way to stop someone from using a ticket twice, other than making people give up biometric data, just because it's convenient for you? People may think I am being too prickly about this, but it's an awfully slippery slope from a voluntary setup like this one to the government requiring it because "Disney does it, and no one minds". Well, I mind. So I guess I can add this to the reasons not to visit your park, in addition to knowing that Walt Disney was allegedly an anti-Semite control freak who did things such as sport a mustache while forbidding his employees to have them, on pain of termination, among many other far more despicable things, outlined in this book. Today's Disney company isn't much better, having lobbied Congress to change the copyright laws retroactively to keep the money rolling in longer. (Can you say "ex post facto"? Congress can't.) People who change the rules in the middle of the game irritate me, so I will not spend my money there. If I were to go, however, I know which finger I would submit for scanning.
