Six Flags fingerprinted my son without consent, says mom. Y'know, this biometric case has teeth, say state supremes...

Re: Thank you!

It's been a few years but when my son and I had season passes to area amusement parks, one of which was a Six Flags location, the pass included a somewhat grainy B&W photo of the person for whom the card was issued. At entry, said pass was scanned by the Mark I eyeball of a teenager manning the gate. Within the context of amusement park entry, there is NO good reason for ID confirmation more complex or intrusive than this. Just because you CAN use shiny tech to achieve a thing doesn't always mean you SHOULD.
