Disney fails to change security rule despite promise

PEOPLE'S DAILY reported on Friday that Shanghai Disney Resort, instead of deploying staff members to physically check visitors' bags to prevent them from carrying food inside the theme park, will install more security scanners to do the job. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:

Yet Disney staff members were still checking visitors' bags on Monday, which, according to Chinese laws, is an infringement of their privacy.

In China, only security personnel authorized to check people's bags can do so. Even at subway stations, airports, museums and other sensitive facilities where security check is mandatory, the security personnel dare not physically search an individual's bag unless they are authorized to do so. Instead, security scanners do the job.
