Welcome to Disneyland?

18 June 2010 - I read in HK Magazine that Hong Kong's Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data has started an investigation into a questionable procedure being used at Hong Kong Disneyland. Since November 2006, the park has been requesting visitors who enter the theme park with an annual pass, a two-day ticket or a tour guide pass for a scan of their fingerprints. The scan does not capture an image of the entire fingerprint, it records about 50 sections of each print. However, the Privacy Commissioner says there are already technologies in other countries that can create the entire fingerprint by linking the scanned sections together., thus creating a privacy invasion. It is rumored that stool samples will be requested next.
