Originally Posted By FerretAfros Do you guys think they will eventually do away with tickets all together, and just scan your finger at the ticket booth, and again to get in the park? It would certainly cut down on people sharing tickets (unless they share fingers), and would be kind of cool too. It could cause a back up at FP stations and just creep people out too much, but I think it would be cool.

I thought that the scan was fairly simple, just enough to match you to your ticket. It certainly isn't nearly as hard as any fingerprint scan I've ever had to do for a background check before.
