Disney World Theme Parks Debut Artificial Intelligence Security Screening Process
What started as a test of a new bag check experience at Disney Springs will now expand to all four Walt Disney World theme parks. In what is a long overdue move, Disney will be moving away from a hands-on approach to bag check screening and moving into the 21st century with Artificial Intelligence screening that will greatly improve the bag check process. As a reminder, the old bag check process would rely on a security Cast Member to search your bag by hand before sending you through a metal detector to check your person. Of course, the level of thoroughness in the bag check varied from security Cast Member to security Cast Member, and introduced the element of human error. As you might imagine, we've been through security hundreds, if not thousands of times over the years, and just like everyone else, we've seen different levels of detail in the bag check searches. After a manual bag check search, security would randomly ask guests to walk through a metal detector, meaning not everyone had to pass through.

You've made it to the fourth and final day of our CES 2019 liveblog. By now we've toured most of the expo halls, seen most of the demos, and touched most of the gadgets. Follow along to see reports from Thursday at CES in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the newest updates appearing at the top.

After roaming CES for nearly a week trying devices that don't make hot chocolate, I was incredibly receptive to the Infini Mix by Japanese company Stuff, which does nothing but make glass after glass of delicious hot cocoa.
