Last week I was at Universal/IOA and everytime I went through the scanner to get in, my fingerprint wouldn't register. My husband and children would go through just fine, then when it was my turn, I would put my pointer there, no reading. We would then try the thumb, nothing. The attendant would then tell my husband to use his fingerprint, and that's how I got in.
I am curious if this has happened to anyone else or do I just have goofy fingerprints?
I have a 15 month annual pass and don't think I've ever gotten in a single time without incident. As you mention, the rest of the family usually marches on through and I get held up. Most annoying. I've showed ID a couple of times, but usually eventually they just pass me through. These obviously have a lousy system.
