So this morning it took us 40 minutes to get through the bag check and metal detectors, there was no "no bag" lines.
It was really frustrating to waste so much time and felt like the bottleneck creates a potentially dangerous situation.
The area outside security is unscreened. Anyone could walk up with a weapon and have a large group of people in front of them to attack.I am curious about what you mean by "potentially dangerous situation"?
Well, unless someone knew that a huge crowd was going to try and enter at a specific time to create a backlog, they'd be wasting their time. It would be more likely people getting angry and tempers flaring.The area outside security is unscreened.

Security is there because Disneyland lawyers. .
Security is there for the safety of the employees and the guests. In this day and age, it is something that you need to expect and plan for. If you get there early enough, it's a short wait. If you get there like 30 minutes to an hour before park opens, you will need to expect a long wait especially if you go during the holidays. If you think your recent trip was bad, I would not suggest you go during the holidays or plan to be there 2 hours before park opens. You also need to keep in mind that the Harbor Blvd entrance is the main entrance so you should expect lines when tens of thousands of people are all trying to go to one place.
Please just play your part and have your bags ready as this will help everybody move through the checks quicker.
...and no I don't work for Dis.
They really need stop with the theatrics and let us enjoy our vacations.
see the rest of my post and link, you think Disney Security would score higher than the TSA at all?I'm able to enjoy my vacation because there is security.

Wow someone actually thinks it's for anyone's safety and not just to make you FEEL safe? Have you noticed how easy it would be to get anything you want through? They don't check strollers
They are inconsistent at best, I go quite often and the last time I went was my first time with a stroller...the whole trip they just looked at the stroller and never touched it, i actually ended up emptying my pockets and putting everything in the stroller to make it easier, I had a travel system where the car seat snaps on top of the stroller, there is so much room under the loose fitting foam/liner of the car seat I could easily fit 3 compact hand guns in there..just saying.They've always checked my stroller really carefully including patting down these little pockets on the sides. They seem to do a decent enough job checking bags too or maybe my 2-year-old and I just look really suspicious so they check us extra carefully
