The future for people who want to travel to the US.

All ten fingers and it should be safed in databases for 75 year's.

What will be the next step ? A biographie of every Person who travel to this country ?

I thought it was enough if you have to be at the airport 3h in advance. Only for flights to Israel you have to be at the airport that early. However, once you're there you'll apreciate they let you in.

btw. The country I was searched most during the last season was Germany. When I came back from the US flying via Frankfurt I was checked 3 times on one transfer.

Hey, that's not too far fetched. A friend of mine has a disease with his fingers causing the skin to fall off from time to time. On his HP Laptop that has a fingerprint reader for login it he wasn't able to get access because it could not detect his fingerprints...

Retinal scans? Do they work for blind people?

It is just ridiculous. Japan recently started doing it to foreigners only- treating them automatically like felons.

When I first heard of Japan fingerprinting all foreigners I thought.."What a bunch of lame chickens- paranoid idiots".

Now... it's US(A).

First off. Fingerprints are easy to fake. It is the most unsecure of biometrics. Fingerprints are the one biometric that you leave behind nearly everywhere you go..except perhaps when skiing and wearing gloves.

Also fingerprints are easy to use to frame someone.... not that the current administration would ever do anything that was immoral like that.

It would be really hard to frame someone using a persons personal walking gait, or a retinal scan, or facial biometrics - or even the newest voice biometrics.

Facial recognition biometrics are much more efficient when trying to identify terrorists in a crowd- before something happens. Fingerprints only help after an act of terror has been carried out.
