Is that the same as bio-samples? :twisted:

I sell my 3day tickets for $135 each. If you are looking for last day tickets to upgrade I don't have them. All my tickets will need to be returned. Thanks

So in other words he knows that you know he is running a scam and doesnt want you to make money off his lame idea.

Thanks to this forum post, I stopped my manager from purchasing tickets to Sea World on Ebay. I told her about the scam artists and she said thank you from having her make a big mistake. So thanks for the heads up!

Just because they take a profile of your finger, does not make it unique profile. It is not a fingerprint. When WDW rolled out the first system, using two fingers, the machine took measurements of certain aspects of your fingers. I assume they do the same thing with only one finger. That does not mean that someone 100 people behind you could not have the same profile.

Basically it is a partial print.

The first time the scan is taken it selects four points which define a rectangle and records the pattern within that rectangle, not the entire print.

Subsequent times it looks at the entire print to see if it can find the matching rectangle.

Also, if it is a group that has purchased their tickets in one transaction from a location with an ATS terminal the tickets are linked together, so if these people switch tickets among themselves it will accept the scan but show up as "different person" on the greeter side of the turnstile.
