Yes I've used the new scanners at other venues. And I have seen people still being pulled aside and their stuff getting rifled through. So its not as non-invasive as you think.
Well at least they are trying to keep weapons out so this doesn't happen:Hmm... My Aunt Ingrid has been dead for several decades, so it couldn't have been her. I wonder who that was?
Exactly. I've said this many times in forums like this in the 24 years since 9/11, but the truth is...
If someone wants to create terror and do major harm to an American icon like Disneyland, they wouldn't try to smuggle in weaponry or materiel all at once via a stroller or a diaper bag. Instead, the evil foreign government or terrorist organization sponsoring them would have them get a job in the park as an entry-level CM after a 20 minute interview and cursory background check at TDA. And once in and working there, they'd spend a week or two smuggling in the materiel of terror gradually through the vastly inferior CM security screening process. And there's virtually no way to stop that.
If and when a terror attack comes to Disneyland, I'd bet two churros it will have come from within by a new entry-level CM with open and 24/7 access to the entire property, and not from a shady guy trying to hide stuff in a stroller on a Saturday morning.
I don't like to say that, but we're all adults here, and it's the truth.
No, there isn't. It can, and perhaps will, happen anywhere. At any theme park. And it will have the same effect whether it's at Disneyland, or at Animal Kingdom or Epcot, or Universal Studios Hollywood, or at Six Flags New Jersey.
I HEARD these images.Well at least they are trying to keep weapons out so this doesn't happen:
They have money to build a Avatar land but not enough money put in modern scanners or build a proper securtity area?? Oooo kay.
Who said they didn’t have enough money?
You did. "Its just a matter of implementing them, something I sure takes time and money" indicating currently they do not have the money or time for it. So again I ask- they have money for new land projects and boat rides but not to get modern scanners and install proper security check points that do not resemble a on the fly DUI check point? You would think security trumps making new lands and rides.
No one said they didn't have money, and I certainly did not. What I said was that it takes time and money, meaning they currently don't have it allocated to this project, not that they don't have the money at all. I also said in that same post they have been testing the new scanners recently, so they do have the intent and are ready it appears to allocate money to install them. But just like any business there are many reasons why things aren't done immediately but rather done on a timeline. Also as another poster said it appears there was push back from the security union, which had likely delayed the installation of the scanners, again not an indication that they don't have money.
Yes. As far as I remember the complaints were always focused at the Harbor entrance. Between all of the hotels and the ART buses coming in, it's crazy how many people come in that way.
It's not about money....it's about jObZ1!!!!
You missed one:It has taken them 24 years to try and modernize their security. I guess it is slightly higher priority than a revamped Tomorrowland. It still looks terrible.
Universal's security
Hollywood Studios checkpoint
Disneyland's checkpoint
Yup. Harbor is where you find the madhouse.Makes sense.
Things are much better on the other end of the property.
Like I said earlier, another good reason to NOT stay on Harbor.
W. Katella for the win!!!

I love this new entrance (and the one at the parking garages) but the fact they built it with the old scanners and are still hand searching bags makes me think there’s no chance the new style scanners, like at WDW, are coming to DL anytime soon.
I honestly believe it will never happen, or at least not any time soon because AI/Automation replacing jobs is a hot topic, especially here in California.
