OK, ahead of me actually trying to get a trip report together I wasnted to post this as I feel it is rather important.
During our two week vacation we went to one park or another on nearly everyday and I was severely unimpressed with the bag searches.
Not that they occurred, but at how totally useless and ineffective they are. The security have absolutely no idea what they are looking for.
On 14 days I carried in a 9" x 4" x 6" baby wipes box and it wasn't until the last day that a guard actually asked me to open it. In addition they never looked beyond the top of the bag, a rather deep backpack.
As I pointed out on the last day to the guard, that box could have had a gun or a knife or even a bomb in it and not once had it been checked previously.
They answer I recieved from a rather cocky security guard was that they could tell who they should focus on by looking at their eyes.... Cool trick behind sunglasses I'm sure. They should teach that trick to the FBI!!!!
Unfortunately this problem wasn't restricted to WDW, but also the same at USF.
Certainly I didn't feel safer for the checks, because it was plainly obvious that if anyone wanted to take a device into WDW it would be no problem whatsoever to do.
