Walt Disney World Fingerprints Visitors to Fight Ticket Fraud

Via Boing Boing -

Disney is now fingerprinting visitors to Walt Disney World as part of its ticket-fraud prevention scheme. They're not being very transparent about it, either: there are no signs posted about the data collection or retention, and Disney's official line is that they're not collecting fingerprints, just mathematical representations of same.



Ummm, not taking fingerprints, just storing the mathematical representations collected by analyzing several key and unquie points in the fingerprint. Isn't that the how all fingerprints are taken? I believe so...which makes their statement crazy, IMHO.

Yet another reason never to go to Disney World.
