New Evolv AI security scanners & bag-check procedures implemented at the parks

Wait until you hear how ineffective non-intrusive metal detectors are…

Oh I am well aware, hence my comment about the X-Ray scanning tech that they've been testing and that Universal already has.

Do you have any data about how effective INTRUSIVE metal detectors are???

That's something I think we'd all rather avoid on our way into a theme park...

Based on what I do, yes.

And I agree.

Interesting news article about the resulting settlement:

A system used to detect weapons in schools and stadiums is coming under scrutiny as the company is accused of using misleading claims to sell its service.

They sure do a good job at detecting sunglasses cases and causing my wife to get VERY upset at Disney Springs security for treating her like s terrorist and barking instructions like they are actually law enforcement officers.

they are actually law enforcement officers.

Well they are former law enforcement/military.

After one trip I learned to hold my sunglasses case WAY out in front of me to avoid getting unnecessarily pulled over to inspect my string bag containing... a water bottle and maybe a paper park map for an intense, detailed inspection

Well they don't have the authority that they act like they do no matter what their former life was. I've had worse experiences with Disney security than I have with the TSA.

I've never been rudely barked at by the TSA. There have been times when they were stern but there is a difference between stern and rude. I've had several interactions with Disney security where they are unnecessarily rude.

Since 99.9% of the time the alert isn't a weapon or other prohibited item the default attitude should be friendly and apologetic not rude and demanding.

The whole thing is a CYA show so that if, God forbid, there was an attack of some kind they can defend the lawsuits saying that they took reasonable preventative action to prevent it.

Agreed on all counts. They treat me like a terrorist over sunscreen and a granola bar.
