Biometrics

I do not do photo's at Disney, and or biometric fingerprinting. . " Oh it's secure and not really fingerprinting", yes, about as secure as your movie being held for ransom. Disney will permit you to opt out showing a driver license at the gate. However, Universal will not admit you to the park. They claiming they want to be sure your are the ticket holder. Dah, have they never heard of a driver license? How did they operate before this decision? Your biometrics are permanent, and someday could be used for health care or some other program. Why enable a theme park to take this information on a trust us say so? I see it as just another future opening for theft identity ? Search the internet and then decide for yourself. Here is part of an article I found.

Are Biometrics Safe?

As you’ve probably gathered, there are some pretty serious privacy concerns when it comes to biometrics. The major issues currently identified with biometrics include:
  • Every collection of data might get hacked. The higher the profile the data, the greater a target it is. The good news is that higher profile data tends to be secured on a much stronger level. However, as biometrics become more common, your biometric information is going to be available in more and more places.
  • Some experts fear that if biometrics become too commonplace that people can become complacent. They might not use the kind of common-sense security measures that they use today because they think that biometrics will solve all of their security problems.
  • The data stored in a biometric database is far more intimate and personal than any other kind of data. You can change passwords. You can’t change your fingerprint or iris scan. This means that once your biometric data has been compromised, there might be no going back.

I am a believer anytime you put your information out there you can be hacked. I have ONE credit card and ONE debt card...both have been hacked and compromised. Both times the banks stood behind them, but still!? I am kind of a "no information" person and would not do theme parks for that reason.

We took a Disney Cruise last month. We did the 5K "fun run" (there was nothing fun about it). At the finish line they took our picture as we crossed. I asked if we needed to give our names and the photographer told me no, the computer would recognize me with facial recognition.

That's a little creepy.

Same thing for us on a cruise to the Bahamas. Pictures taken over 5 days all over the ship. Not once did we give a name or cabin number. All the pictures compiled in a binder. It was kinda creepy. You begin to realize the capabilities out there far exceed what we think is possible.
