orribolollie 0 #1 December 15, 2006 I have learnt from a previous thread that British nationals (and others Id guess), have to be fingerprinted and photographed to enter the US? Just wondered what everyone, well especially those of you from the US thought of this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #5 December 15, 2006 But the important thing is that someone, somewhere, in the government administrative system actually got to put in their yearly achievements, a small bullet that they made this happen and thus justified an incentive bonus. And, at least 92 US congressmen will be able to gain votes by telling their constituents that they help make this happen. Strangely enough about 48 other congressment will be able to garner votes by saying they opposed it. Finally, 14 will be able to garner votes by saying they were for it, and then will turn around and garner more votes by telling another group they opposed it. By an odd coincidence these 14 have been in office for an extremely long time. only 7 of all congressmen even knew about this before it happened - FWIW So it's all ok ...

Do you believe you should even have to present a passport? Quote You crack me up!! Yeah of course you should carry a passport, you know why, becasue you cant forge your face!!! Remember theres a picture of me in my passport. Hence I do not need to have my fingerprints taken (or have a photo taken) cos its exactly the one in my passport. Right so now I have established my identity..by the picture in my passport...why do I need to be fingerprinted?

Butters 0 #19 December 15, 2006 QuoteIt doesn't assume you will break the law. If it assumed you will break the law you wouldn't even be let in. Quote Fine. So you tell me exactly why id need to be fingerprinted? It is harder to forge a fingerprint and photo then a passport so they are better forms of validation.

wmw999 2,439 #20 December 15, 2006 The US doesn't really treat people from other countries courteously. I heard a story while in NZ about someone trying to get a summer work visa (she had been asked to intern at a summer came). She had to call repeatedly to a for-cost number, hold for extended periods, to make the appointment. No, she couldn't make it in person. No, they didn't have a free line. Yes, they would hang up if she held long enough. The interview itself was equally appalling. 8 hours waiting, 10 minutes talking. But she finally decided what they were really doing was simply watching her to see if she went berserk during the waiting . We tend to think of the US as being such a prize that indignity is part of the price to pay to get here. I have a feeling that's not as true as it used to be.
