During a pilot project using the same technology to identify wanted criminals attempting to re-enter the United States, the INS has received an average of about 70 fingerprint "hits" a week. The fingerprinting led to the arrest of more than 2,000 wanted felons between January and July. Pretty interesting.

AND -- since we are so totally confusing causes with effects -- all should be lie-detector tested. Why? All US military personnel are finger printed. If one works at many state or federal agencies they are fingerprinted. If a US citizen is arrested, they are finger printed. Heck, at places like K-Mart, parents can get their children fingerprinted.
Now, they are holding free DNA swabbing of children in many areas of the country. Many states take DNA samples from felons.
In principle, I am against forced fingerprinting and DNA swabbing, unless one is a criminal. However, we have all read so much how the terrorists and those who support them flit and fly from country to country. They come into this country repeatedly. To me, it makes sense, to use an identifier that they can not change at will.

Yes, stop all immigration from those countries for 1 year and spend that time finding all whose visas long ago expired and send them home now. Enough of this pc bull!!

What a wonderful Idea, sheesh, should have been done years ago.

Was I a prophet or something?? Would seem so. Mind scans, indeed. Almost everyone will be nervous after all the publicity of the terrible screening process. They need to arm the pilots!
