This post has nothing to do with Disney, but found this to be an interesting tidbit about Universal.

"Guests at Universal Studios Florida got a bit of a surprise earlier this week when walk-through metal detectors appeared in front of the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster. The detectors were placed right under the wait times sign and have been showing up periodically as part of a test that is designed to cut down on instances where riders board roller coaster vehicles with prohibited objects (keys, loose change, wallets, etc.) still in their pockets. In addition to the walk-through detectors, guests were also being scanned with wands at the checkpoints.

Though Universal has said that this test is being done to help enforce safety policies that are already in practice at the parks, there has been some pushback from park-goers who have concerns about accessibility as well as privacy. Thus far, Universal hasn’t made any comment about how long this test will go on, what other rides may be affected or if there are plans to make this a permanent safety procedure."
 
Universal has some strict policies with what guests bring on rides. The first day they tested this they were done by the early afternoon.
 
I'm starting to get used to the "no turnstile" thing that WDW is having now with the magicbands. I think Universal might be taking it to the next level if they need to start having metal detectors before a ride.. Seems inconvenient
