To be fair, after 9/11 when they agressivly installed metal detectors for a while, they were after you scanned your ticket as well.
But it makes more sense to put it before you scan your ticket, that way if there's an issue you can get rid of it at your car, or let security handle it without blocking up the ticket scanners. Plus doing it after the ticket scanners just makes me iffy bc if you do forget you have something not allowed on you, are they gonna let you get your hand stamped if you got a single day ticket? Because otherwise you can't get back into the park.
