Sounds to me like Disney, Universal Studios and Seaworld pulled a few strings and called in some favors.

You don’t mess around with taking away Mickey’s tourism monies I guess.

Orlando - Sanford International is a small airport serving the Orlando area....

The major airport serving Orlando is a different facility.....Orlando International Airport (MCO).

At least Mickey is showing his brass ones to someone other than the TSA.

SFB is not MCO

Many on this thread would do well to understand the difference.

I doubt a significant amount of Disney traffic goes through Sanford. Orlando (MCO - the old McCoy AFB for those curious about the MCO) handles the bulk of the visitors to the area. Sanford is a small regional airport off to the NE of the city while the attractions are to the SW.

IMHO this is not a good test case because of the small number of flights and the relative ease in which TSA will treat them as unscreened. It would be better if a major airport went first.
