US fingerprints 'allied' visitors

I AM VINDICATED!!!

Good thing somebody, somewhere collected Brandon Mayfield's fingerprints, the U.S. lawyer who recently converted to Islam and was involved in the Madrid bombings!

::ha::
 
The man (Mayfield) had been under surveillance for a long time, given his support for the Portland Seven... and he was not fingerprinted at any airport (being an American citizen).

I don't know if his status as a lawyer makes him liable to be fingerprinted. If he is involved (assumption of innocence and all that) it is great that they got him.
 
A few weeks ago, I came through LA customs and other than a sign saying a digital fingerprint would be taken for foreign nationals entering the US, there wasn't a big deal still. People were coming in, the lines were moving at the same speed as they always have and no one was grumbling about any extra inconveniences.
So has anyone here had to deal with it? I'd be more interested in hearing from someone who has had to be digitally fingerprinted than anyone up in arms over something they haven't experienced or that that have first- (or even second-)hand knowledge of.
