While it's not a huge time saver I like this. We typically go bagless so this will just make it easier to get through security even quicker.NEWS

I see this the same as how TSA is improving scanners at some airports. The goal is to not have people have to remove stuff from their pockets eventually (so I hear) from TSA in the future. They are already using enhanced scanners in certain airports. The article briefly mentions "calibrating metal detectors to accept small metal items" I assume this is the same as other metal detectors that one may encounter out and about. Some metal detectors I've been through aren't as sensitive if you will and others def. are.Doesn't this sort of defeat the security purpose? Disney should just go to scanners.
My problem would be like @TheMaxRebo mentioned above. Will this prevent small pocket knives or similar items from getting through? Some have key chain ones on their keys.I see this the same as how TSA is improving scanners at some airports.

Way way way back when metal detectors were first talked about that Disney was implementing on a random system I mentioned I would much rather everyone go through the detectors. Agree totally with maxrebo that Universal is much easier process though you still need to remove your stuff from your pockets if I remember correctly but your bag just goes through a scanner which can be easier for those who may have a bigger bag or a bag with more pockets vs a human looking through all those pockets. So I guess a trade off there in comparison to Disney's new procedure.
Well I guess that question should be asked of all the places that have different settings used on their detectors. It's of course a valid concern I just don't know the answer to how other places handle those types of situations.My problem would be like @TheMaxRebo mentioned above.

It's all security theatre.
Until there is another major threat, they can probably slowly pare back on security (to a point). The minute there is another Vegas shooter or (God forbid) a sports venue or theme park incident, they will probably make everyone go through scanners.
The main issue is that people "feel" safer by having their bags checked but balanced with quickness and ease of getting people through the lines.
Why are the theme parks themselves locked down compared to the (as equally full of people) Disney hotels and Disney Springs? Again .. because it is just theater.
We ALL know that if someone wanted to harm people .. they could just use this MAJOR chokepoint to harm people right there.
And .. if someone really tried hard, they could probably get things through security (hidden in a stroller (I mean .. they don't ask you to remove the child do they), buried deep in a bag, etc.).
