The Magic Kingdom
Surveillance, whether it is sponsored by a public or private entity is an invasion of privacy. The collection of biometric information provides a means of conducting surveillance. The collection of fingerprint information is associated with police arrest, employment with financial institutions, or controlling access to highly secure facilities. Broadening the practice to include visitors to theme park is a new and unnecessary use especially if it involves children. There are no federal laws restricting the collection of personally identifiable information, such as recording of electronic handwriting or personal signatures, fingerprints, eye scans, or DNA by businesses.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center just posted some information on theme parks and their use of surveillance technology. If I actually had any desire to visit a Disney theme park, this might concern me.
