When 911 occurred it was revealed that WDW was mentioned by the terrorist group as a target. They did not call out any other hotel or resort chain. Disney being specifically targeted does give them more to be concerned about.
The first problem with these checks is that they are only security theatre and accomplish nothing other than disturbing guests and invading their privacy.
Security theatre did make the bad guy change his mind at Disney Springs observed on video. He went to Pulse instead.
That security theatre involved armed and trained police officers not housekeeping staff.
People are entitled to their opinions.
does that include mine ?
If your opinion is you like the security checks....yes you are entitled to that.
I am ambivalent to the checks.
It also is designed to shut down reasonable discussion on a topic.
Read my reply. I'm all for discussion.
It appears your original message didn't come across the way you intended.
I absolutely love people like ya’ll! Thank you!
I traveled very frequently for work until my current role, and do a lot of personal travel.
Terrorism doesnt stop just because time passes. Groups stay underground planning strikes and when they see the opportunity or specific times that they can justify a strike they do it. The point is to strike unexpectedly and cause fear and disruption. There is no time for Dis to be complacent or safe enough to halt security measures.
Their strikes are not going to involve setting up a hotel room on Disney property. If they're going to do something they're going to go for maximum body count. Hotels won't accomplish that. They'll figure out someway to do something inside of a park during a stage show, parade, or fireworks. These room checks are nothing more than Disney's way to stand back and tell the public that they're doing their best. They actually accomplish nothing. Less than nothing when you think about it. Because if they didn't do the room checks at all nothing would change. But by doing the room checks nothing is changing and they are they're agitating their guests.
Setting up a hotel room may very well be a part of their plans. You have no idea what plans are being made or how they are going to be set up. Hotel rooms can be a staging point where they ready for a larger attack. They don’t advertise how many people they are intending to target or how it plays out. Their goal hasn’t always been a large number of deaths but the affects those deaths have. If something happens at WDW no matter how large or small it will have a devastating affect of guests wanting to vacation there afterwards.
Using your logic, we need to have inspections to park your car in the parking lot, because who know if your car isn't loaded with C4, or if the trunk isn't full of AR15s?
