US fingerprinting frenzy
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/ travel/ charlesstarmersmith/ april2008/ fingerprints.h...
Does the Bush regime really want no one to visit the United States? Not satisfied with treating all arriving holidaymakers like criminals by insisting on fingerprints and photographs, now the US is to extend its fingerprinting frenzy to those leaving the country as well. Why are American citizens not being fingerprinted as well? If the new laws are approved, from January all non-US citizens will have to give prints, whether they are leaving by plane or cruise ship. The fear is that this will result in longer queues and missed connections but it is also seen as a further erosion of our basic human rights.
