Sean’s House

So, found this on boing boing. Cory talks about an entry on the Disney Blog about how the new fingerprint scanners could be used for Evil(tm) by Walt Disney World and that they could possibly share their data with the government. Now, I’m a huge privacy advocate, but fingerprint scanners have been at WDW since at least 1997, (the first time I was there) so I’m wondering why a big fuss is being made over it. It’s good that they mention you can still get in the park if you refuse to use them (which is what I did) but always presenting the worst case scenario (Disney and the NSA are in cahoots!) gets a little old after awhile. It’s not like people *have* to go to Walt Disney World for fun. But if you do go, make a statement and refuse to use the reader. If enough people do it, then they’ll stop utilizing it. That’s the only realistic way to stop them from doing it.
