Seems like security got tighter since the 80s. Either that or kids today can handle their alcohol better. Who knew the people mover was the most dangerous ride (or at least tied for first).
I have gotten to walk around a completely guest cleared DHS multiple times, I have also gotten to walk around World Showcase at 2:00a.
The foil would likely enhance the range of the transmitting antenna, which is a coil of copper that's encased in the straps of the MB.
Once they get the initial system working and all of the testing completed, they will likely begin utilizing the active tracking features - from things like you've suggested, to finding lost kids.

Actually, it probably wouldn't. EZPass toll transponders use a similar system as the Bands (at least the powered portion, which is what can most easily be read from a distance) and in their FAQ they say that if for some reason you don't want the transponder to be read while going through a toll lane to wrap it in foil.

LOL. It's also the gist of the "RFID blocking" wallets that are sold. It's lined with foil to keep the cards inside it from being read, even at close range.

No way! I was thinking of MK not Disneyland. That is horrible! It happened later with 2 other grad night celebrants.
I'm sure with these "Magic Bands" They can easily track where everyone is walking around and being in places they shouldn't be.
