New Restrictive Ride Policy at Great Adventure

I thought the metal detectors were there to detect wealth and keep the poor out.

I thought it was all just theater.

Actually, everybody knows Disney only sends the poor people through.

So, they don't use them all all? Because Disney hates, and subsequently doesn't allow, poor people.

It's not really that effective, though. It's mostly just hate theatre.

So are they still screwing people over?

Again, remember that you're always welcome to being your Flash Pass dangling precariously from your waistband, but that your phone in a fully zippered pocket is a dangerous projectile that must be banned.

Safety matters to Six Flags, if and only if they can make a few bucks off of making the park "safer." I would encourage everybody to write SFGAdv via the feedback form and make sure they know their guests do not approve of this bubble-wrapping money grab. It inconveniences guests too, by not letting you use any devices in the queue. At the very least, the lockers should be at the entrance to the station (see Scream and X2 at SFMM.)
